He did send some stuff to the R.O.M. -- but as to the "beacon" in Gjoa Haven, I don't yet have a clear idea of what it was, or where it's located.

Have these - especially those buried "under the beacon" in Gjoa Haven - been definitively accounted for? They would seem like good candidates for DNA testing and other research.S. L.
