Dutch Harbor/Unalaska is the largest
international fishing port in the nation. It is a land of haunting beauty,
and home to thousands of resident and migrating seabirds, foxes, seals,
sea otters, and whales.
If
you have bird watching and wildflowers on your list for
Alaska, you will not be disappointed. The island is a birder's paradise,
maintaining one of the worlds most heavily populated eagle habitats,
and the rarely seen whiskered auklet.
Hiking trails, some established thousands of years ago by
Unangan hunters and gatherers, invite exploration of volcanic peaks and
hidden valleys. Kayaking, beachcombing, berry picking, wildlife
photography, and biking are a few of the activities awaiting you.
Here, too, the Museum of the Aleutians represents the
culture and history of the Aleutian and Pribilof Islands from prehistory
to the present. |
