Valdez? Wow! I dont know maybe it froze up and dropped of the glacier. Why dont you try www.history.com and search it for the pix of such a place. Very Peculiar though to be a name like that amongst the Eskimos?

The original town site of Valdez was completely destroyed on Good Friday in 1964 by the strongest recorded earthquake ever to strike the North American continent. This was registered as 9.2 on the Richter scale. In addition, tsunamis generated by the earthquake ravaged the town. Five percent of the population of Valdez was killed in this disaster. As a result, the town site was condemned unsafe and it was rebuilt at a location 5 mi (8 km) west of the old site.
