2.	BACKGROUND:
	The Ennadai Lake site is a former weather station situated on
Ennadai Lake. The site is located within the Kivalliq region of
Nunavut. The site was manned from 1949 to approximately 1979.
There is currently an un-manned weather station on site. The
site is approximately 380 km west of Arviat, Nunavut at
approximately 61° 07' 51" N latitude and 100° 53' 14" W
longitude. The site is on the east shore, on the north arm of
Ennadai Lake. The site is located on a sandy esker complex. The
site is considered remote. The materials used in the
construction of the former weather station were brought to site
via cat train from Churchill, Manitoba.

	During the 2012 field program, access was by float plane. There
is no float plane dock on site. An unmaintained gravel/sand
airstrip is located approximately 800 m northeast of the site.
This airstrip may be able to support the use of a Twin Otter but
would require ground-truthing. There is a lodge approximately 60
km southwest of the site that has a runway that can accommodate
a Buffalo transport plane. There are no existing roads on site.
There is no existing camp on site.
