As we approach the end of April here at Lake E, we are starting to see more wild life at the lake. Within 1 kilometer of the platform the crews spotted a herd of caribou slowly making their way across the lake. Estimates vary but the herd included at least 30 caribou, and may have been as large as 50. In other years we have seen the herds gather in spring in the Enmyvaam River valley that forms the outlet of the lake. Lake E is right on the divide in the Anadyr Mts and is a low pass to north to south travel.
