Located on the south-western end of the Bay of Ice, Luokta-fahkon is a Lossoth village in Forochel. Its villagers are mainly hunters and fisherman, but they grow a small number of crops. Dog sled teams help them to travel farther in the winter months to hunt bigger game such as elk and musk oxen.
The people of Luokta-fahkon regularly gather next to the totem dedicated to the holy whale Fahkon to tell stories and offer gifts to the lord of the sea. The use of whale bones as well as the wall of bones that surrounds the cemetery are further signs of their devotion to the sea spirits. The large monolith in the middle of the cemetery is where the shaman gives last rights to the departed before they are buried under a cairn.
