Aleutian Islands

The Aleutian Islands stretch off the Alaskan Peninsula into the North Pacific for more than 1,000 miles. The islands consists of dormant and active volcanoes, green in summer but void of trees. Aleut villages are scattered throughout the islands. There are also larger towns on the islands with economies based on deep-sea fishing.

The islands can only be accessed by air or boat with visitors usually arriving in the community of Dutch Harbor.
