Cliff edge, Tuktoyaktuk 1947 to 2008, Beaufort Sea, northern Canada
The following dataset represents cliffs, beach and coastlines as they existed along the Beaufort Sea since 1947. These features provide an accurate representation of the land/water interface at a given time and position along the coastline. Aerial photography provided by National Airphoto Library (N...
