I spent some time at Tagish Lake, and the strewnfiled is not completely
mapped. The extremely high mountains were impossible to search, so the lake
was the only part mapped. It is clear that the strewnfield was larger bt
encompassed the peaks which jut up from the lake several thousand feet
almost verticle!
