Laguna de la Frezas in Detail.

About

near Point Carrew, south shore of Yakutat Bay; Malaspina Coastal Plain.

History

This name is applied to a lake on Captain Alesandro Malaspina's 1791 chart; so called because wild strawberries were found in the area (Wagner, 1937, p. 456). Baker listed Strawberry pond, and wrote (Named Laguna del las Frezas (dung lake) * * * In Spanish frezas means "dung", fresas means strawberry. Perhaps frezas is a clerical error for fresas. I prefer to think so and make this change." This lake is not named on current maps.
