Peard Bay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peard Bay is a bay in the Chukchi Sea, in Alaska's North Slope. It is located at 70°55′N, 158°35′W. This bay lies just a few miles northeast of Wainwright.

Peard Bay is relatively small and it is limited by Point Franklin on its western side.

Peard Bay Airport [WQJ] is close to the bay area.

In some documents this bay is named erroneously as "Pearl Bay". Its correct name has always been "Peard Bay".
