Kasegaluk Lagoon

It is separated from the Chukchi Sea by a series of long, thin barrier islands that stretch south and north-east from the town of Point Lay and westwards down to Icy Cape.

The lagoon receives the waters from the Kukpowruk, Kokolik, and Utukok Rivers.

Kasegaluk Lagoon extends for about 200 km (120 mi), from approximately 69°16′N 163°15′W / 69.267°N 163.250°W / 69.267; -163.250 to 70°22′N 160°47′W / 70.367°N 160.783°W / 70.367; -160.783.

The lagoon's Inuit name was formerly reported as "Kasegarlik" but it was changed in 1929 to its present spelling.
