Annoatok

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Annoatok (or Anoritooq)), latitude 78°33' N and longitude 72°30' W[1], was a small hunting station in Greenland, on Smith Sound about 15 miles north of Etah. It is now abandoned.

Annoatok was used as a base by Frederick Cook during his Arctic expedition of 1908-1909, when he claimed to have reached the North Pole[2].
