The indigenous Unangan (Aleuts) called their island Agunalaksh, which roughly translates to “close to the mainland.”
Iliuliuk
The main village on the island was called Iliuliuk which refers to the curvature of the bay.
Ounalashka
Russian fur traders came to the islands in the mid-1700’s and eventually referred to the island and village as Ounalashka. After the United States bought Alaska, the U.S. Board of Geographical Names standardized the spelling to Unalaska.
Dutch Harbor
The Russian population at the time dubbed that body of water Dutch Harbor. During WWII, the military referred to the entire area as Dutch Harbor as did the people that came here later to work in the commercial fisheries industry.
Amaknak is commonly referred to as the Dutch Harbor side. Today, the two names are used interchangeably to identify the area. Technically, they are both within the limits of the City of Unalaska, which encompasses all of Amaknak Island and the northeastern end of Unalaska Island. In 1980 the two were connected by the “Bridge to the Other Side.”

The United States military paid little attention to the Aleutian Islands prior to WWII. A naval exercise in 1934 was a disaster due to weather, and Navy PBY airplanes were allowed to fly out only in summer. A treaty with Japan forbade the building of bases in the island chain. All of this changed in 1938 when Japan announced it would abandon the treaty. The U.S. military began looking in earnest at the options for base building.

The decision to use Dutch Harbor as the main naval base did not come easily. Little flat ground, and a harbor that was too small for turning large vessels, were balanced by the fact that the navy already had a radio

Volcanic, foggy, and windswept, WITHIN A 2-MILE these islands have been home to the RADIUS OF THE Unangan (also known as Aleut) culture for thousands of years. Given the harsh DUTCH HARBOR climatic condition of sea life, it is not surprising that the Unangan developed AIRPORT” and shaped their culture to co-exist with the unique environment that defines the Aleutian Islands. Ioann Veniaminov (1797-1879), a Russian Orthodox priest and the Unangan’s first ethnographer, identified adaptability as one of the key cultural characteristics that enabled the Unangan people to develop and sustain a complex maritime lifestyle for at least 10,000 years.

The CATHEDRAL of the HOLY ASCENSION of CHRIST
The oldest cruciform-style Orthodox church in North America
When a visitor is planning a trip to the City of Unalaska and the International Port of Dutch Harbor, more likely than not a photograph of the Cathedral of the Holy Ascension of Christ has crossed his or her desktop. The cathedral, the oldest cruciform-style Orthodox church in North America, stands as a sentry on the front beach and is the most photographed landmark in the Aleutian Islands. The cathedral was completed in 1896 and stands on grounds where Saints have walked and that have housed Orthodox chapels since 1808. Surprisingly, within the cathedral are portions of the older churches that are the history of the site. Specifically, the chapel dedicated to St. Sergei of Radonez houses the original Iconostas from the 1808 chapel, with the exception of the royal doors which are from the church built by Fr. John Veniaminov in 1825. The chapel originally dedicated to St. Innocent of Irkutsk, houses the Iconostas from the 1825 chapel that Fr. John built, with the exception of the royal doors which are from the original chapel constructed in 1808. The site, declared a National Historic Landmark in the 1970’s, has undergone a restoration which has removed it from the listing as one of the twelve most endangered historic landmarks in the world. Phase two of the restoration, which has been ongoing since 1997, includes the restoration of the nearly 700 icons and relics within the cathedral.
The cathedral and the church grounds have been a cornerstone in the lives of the Unangan/Unangas since the introduction of orthodoxy. Although the church has been in Unalaska for only a brief moment in time considering the documented 9,000-year history of Unangan occupation, the church has solidified its importance to the Unangan people over the ensuing years and the tumultuous times of “Americanization” and, especially, during the evacuation of the indigenous population during World War II. The relationship began with Veniaminov’s protection of the people from the cruelty of enslavement, grew with his dedication to the artistic THE CATHEDRAL traits of the Unangan people and his belief AND THE CHURCH in the importance of GROUNDS tradition and culture. His HAVE BEEN A creation of an alphabet for CORNERSTONE Unangam Tunuu allowed IN THE LIVES OF the indigenous population to move forward in time, THE UNANGAN/ changing the way that they UNANGAS were able to document SINCE THE their own history. Over the INTRODUCTION years, the church has given OF ORTHODOXY. a sense of community when it was desperately needed, and the people have reciprocated with their unfailing faith and by being the caretakers of the physical church, maintaining the structure as best they could, even in times of total destitution. The Bishop’s House, a neighboring structure, was built in 1882 in San Francisco, dismantled and shipped to be reassembled in Unalaska for Bishop Nestor. Unfortunately, he was lost at sea on his way to Unalaska, and never lived in the house. The Bishop’s House is the only surviving remnant of a cluster of church buildings that once included a seminary and school. The Bishop’s House is slated for restoration during a third restoration phase planned by the Unalaska Parish. Still an important part of village life, regular services are held on Saturday evening at 6:30 and Sunday morning at 10:00. All are welcome to attend. Bear in mind that attendees stand during the services and the services are conducted in a mixture of English, Unangam tunuu, and Old Church Slavonic.
This woodblock print, entitled “September Afternoon” by Ray Hudson depicts one of the restoration projects completed on the Russian Orthodox church in 1997.
THE ORTHODOX CROSS HAS SEVERAL SYMBOLS IN IT 1 2
1 The top cross represents the sign saying “King of the Jews” ([ICXC] Greek for Jesus Christ), placed there by the Roman soldiers as a joke, but now regarded as the truth.
3
2 Second cross is the arm board to which Christ’s hands were nailed. 3 The third is the most important. It represents the foot board where Jesus’ legs were supported. This allowed the person being crucified to hold themselves upright and keeping them alive, until they were too tired and allowed themselves to suffocate. It also represented the fact that Jesus suffered on the cross, wrenching the board in his agony. This shows he was truly human, not a pain-free god. Lastly it represents the two other men crucified on the cross with Jesus. The man on the left did not believe and was sent down to hell, the man on the right believed and was sent to heaven. Therefore the third cross piece always points UP to Jesus’ right. Interpretation courtesy of Jeff Dickrell

Historically our community has benefited from the rich fishery resources of the Bering Sea. For the past 17 straight years, Unalaska has been the nation’s number one commercial fishing port in terms of pounds landed and either first or second product landed. In 2013, Unalaska’s commercial fishing fleet landed 753 million pounds of fish and shellfish at the Port of Dutch Harbor, at a dollar value of 197 million dollars. In 2006, Unalaska broke its own national record with landings of 911 million pounds valued at 165 million dollars. Following the The Magnuson- Stevens Act in 1976 ▼ the Pollock fishery in the Bering Sea quickly became the nation’s largest and most valuable fishery; in 2013 the Pollock fishery had a harvest of 3.0 billion pounds at an ex-vessel value of 406 million dollars. ◀ In 2013 Alaska’s fishery landing totaled 5.7 billion pounds which was 58% of the nation’s landing of 9.8 billion pounds.

During WWII, Dutch Harbor became a sea base for amphibious planes and submarines, again because of the natural port features of deep water, protected bays, and being free of ice year round. During the war, there were 9,000 troops stationed at various forts on the island. Evidence of the military’s presence is visible today, with many bunkers and WWII era buildings, some of which are still in use.

“Fish and seafood products are shipped from Unalaska to markets around the world, both foreign and domestic.” Arctic Exploration in the Beaufort Sea and the Chukchi Sea will have a significant impact on this community.

The Port of Dutch Harbor, located on Unalaska Island, has a rich Aleut (Unangan) history dating back at least 10,000 years. There have been many habitations near the bay due to the natural protection of the sand spit that forms Dutch Harbor. In the 18th century, Russian fur traders first sailed here. u

With the advent of increased shipping activity along the Northern Sea Route, it is expected that the Port of Dutch Harbor will also be involved as a key element of shipping cargo over the pole. As the ice melts, more shipping companies will seek to take advantage of the cost savings to be realized in shipping cargo over the pole.

The Port of Dutch Harbor is intensively planning for the future and the City of Unalaska is interested in meeting the demands of industry in the most efficient way possible. It is expected that the Port of Dutch Harbor will continue to be a vibrant economic hub far into the future.

Former Associate Professor/ Unalaska Agent Alaska Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences University of Alaska Fairbanks
“Endangered Steller sea lions and threatened Northern sea otters are regular sights near Unalaska, preying upon local fish and invertebrate species.”
The Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands are home to 450 species of fish and invertebrates, 50 species of sea birds and at least 25 species of marine mammals. The biological productivity of this area is driven by the seasonal differences in exposure to sunlight and availability of nutrients. The long summer days allow phytoplankton to grow, while winter storms raise nutrients from the sea floor. This combination of sunlight and nutrients allows for a prolific food web which results in a diverse and abundant ecosystem.
Fish and invertebrate species in Unalaska are often seen as the result of sport and subsistence fisheries. Commonly captured fish species include Pacific halibut, Pacific cod, many species of salmon and rockfish, sculpin, greenling, various species of flatfish and others. Many species of invertebrates can be seen on intertidal beach walks and others are captured in various fishing gear. Local invertebrate BR species include Red
King crab, Tanner crab, Razor clams, Butter clams, Gumboot chitons, Shield limpets, Blue mussels, and north Pacific giant octopus. Intertidal invertebrates include a vast array of seastars, urchins, anemones, snails and seaweeds. Each summer in the Bering Sea, 40 million to 50 million seabirds feed and make nests. The abundance of seabirds is often driven by the availability of food sources, migration routes, and changes in the rates of mortality. Near Unalaska, the predominant species include Bald eagles, ravens, cormorants, guillemots, and various species of gulls. Other species sometimes seen include horned and tufted puffins, murres, shearwaters, fulmars, auklets, kittiwakes and species of albatross. Oystercatchers are prevalent throughout Unalaska as are several species of sea ducks like the Spectacled and Steller’s eiders. Unalaska also plays host to a suite of marine mammals all capitalizing on the prolific food web. Humpback whales feed in Unalaska Bay in July and August before they migrate to their winter calving ground in Hawaii. Endangered Steller sea lions and threatened Northern sea otters are regular sights near Unalaska preying upon local fish and invertebrate species. Rare but occasional sightings include Harbor porpoises, Pacific white-sided dolphins, Dall’s porpoises, and Harbor seals. Occasionally Orcas (Killer whales) will visit the outer bay looking for fish or mammal prey. Though most of species described above are seasonal visitors in the summer time, others are year-round residents that seem perfectly happy with winter weather. One thing is for certain, Unalaska and the Aleutian Islands offer a door-step view of some of the most spectacular wildlife in the world.

While out walking and touring the community, stop in at one of our seven local parks and playgrounds. Our Memorial Park located on the waterfront of the original townsite of Unalaska is one you will not want to miss. The park honors our native residents, fisherman lost at sea as well as our veterans who served in the Aleutians during WWII. Flags from all our service branches fly proudly throughout the park.

The sound of “whoosh” carried over the breeze excites, and you turn just in time to see humpbacks blowing and sounding in the bay. After years of living here, you aren’t surprised when you see that long time residents still carry cameras with them everywhere they go, and say to each other, “Can you believe this day?” Count a day like this, along with a million other reasons, why Unalaska is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and keeps folks in love with it even through the hardest of winters.

In the deepest dark of a bleak midwinter morning, when the winds can shake the eaves; when the cold seems insurmountable and endless, there is one thought to warm their spirits: The memory of a perfect Unalaska summer day. Throw open the windows, and, depending on where you stand, the scent of the sea and windswept tundra, greets you. Beyond, a water colored emerald landscape dotted with purple lupine, crisp white daisies smiling with golden eyes gently wave and turn toward the sun, while flocks of young grey crowned rosy finches, lapland longspurs and sparrows dance with almost a hundred summer bird species over

Close to Town
The five following trails are close to town and easy to access.
While being known for its maritime abundance, Unalaska is also home to many stunning terrestrial opportunities. Hiking trails of Unalaska Island perforate the treeless terrain providing access to protected bays, stunning panoramas, derelict World War II remains, and plants, flowers, and wildlife unique to the Aleutian Islands.

Peace of Mind
The Ugadaga Trailhead is on Overland Road. The trail travels less than two miles downhill to sea level from its start at about 800 feet. The trip down the Ugadaga Trail is always quicker than the uphill return trip.
The Peace of Mind trail is named for the state one is able to reach while wandering the hills of the Aleutians- or sitting in the now defunct sauna on the shores of Beaver Inlet. To get to the Peace of Mind trailhead, start on the Summer Bay side of Overland Drive. At the lowest switchback in the road there is a pull out that leads to the unmarked trail. The trail starts at about 400 feet and reaches a high point around 600 feet. A steep hill near the half-way point covers 500 feet of elevation in less than ½ mile. Once at the bottom of the hill, there are a few stream crossings before the trail skirts around a marshy lowland and lake. Stay to the right of the lake as you head down the trail to make it to the beach.
For most hikers, it is just less than an hour each way.
The 3 mile trail takes about 90 minutes to hike each way.

Some trails, like the Ugadaga Trail are historical thoroughfares that have been used to connect the bygone villages of Unalaska Island. Other trails were used or built by military personnel whose stations dotted the island, and others still can be used to gain access to seldom seen or visited areas of Unalaska.

Hiking in Unalaska
Agamgik About 5 ½ miles out Summer Bay road, the trailhead for the Agamgik Trail can be found at an unmarked pull-out just before the bridge at Humpy Creek. The trail starts just above sea level and peaks around 600 feet near the half-way point before heading back down to sea level. Follow the trail from the parking area to an old military bridge, and while heading up the hill, stay on the trail to the left through the valley. Around ¾ mile in you’ll notice a steep gully along with a few stream crossings that require careful entrance and exit.

Birders around the world know the Aleutian Islands as a spectacular destination! During the summer, an estimated forty million seabirds nest throughout the Aleutians. Our ice free coastal waters shelter tremendous flocks of wintering waterfowl, and spring and fall migrations regularly bring Asian strays into the islands.
ESTIMATED FORTY MILLION SEABIRDS NEST THROUGHOUT THE ALEUTIANS
Bald Eagles, year round residents, are always seen about town, and are tallied in the hundreds during the community’s Christmas Bird Count. Among shorebirds are the resident Rock Sandpiper and Black Oystercatcher, and the breeding Least Sandpiper and Semipalmated Plover. If your timing is right, you’ll see Bar-tailed Godwits in the spring, and during fall migration Ruddy Turnstones, Wandering Tattlers, and Sharp-tailed Sandpiper.

The challenge of winter birding has its rewards in the great flocks of waterfowl and sea ducks filling the local bays. Aleutian specialties such as the Emperor Goose, whose entire world population winters here in the Aleutians, and the handsome Steller’s Eider, are easily seen and photographed from the roadways. Scoters, Long-tailed Ducks, and Harlequin Ducks are also very common. Fresh water ducks include the Eurasian subspecies of Greenwinged Teal and large flocks of scaup which on occasion include closely related Tufted Ducks, casuals from Asia.

Readily seen during the summer months are all the alcids; puffins, murres, guillemots, auklets and murrelets. This is the time to seek the tiny Whiskered Auklet, found only in the Aleutian and Commander Islands and Central Kuriles. It is possible to see them from the ferry crossing the Pass between Akutan and Unalaska Islands, or by taking a charter to the nearby Baby Islands. Be advised to give yourself extra ‘weather days’ for getting out on the water, as gales are frequent even during the summer. Other offshore species include shearwaters, petrels, fulmars, Laysan and Black-footed Albatross, and occasionally Short-tailed Albatross and Red-legged Kittiwakes. Easily seen nearshore are Black-legged Kittiwakes and three species of cormorant, including the Red-faced Cormorant, seen only in Alaska and NE Asia. A handful of songbirds are year round residents here, among them are Common Redpoll, Snow Bunting, American Dipper, and the Aleutian subspecies of Song Sparrow, Pacific Wren and Gray-Crowned Rosy Finch. Our breeding birds include Lapland Longspur, American Pipit, Bank Swallow and Savannah Sparrow.

Unalaska, which is much more accessible than Attu or Shemya, gives birders the opportunity to add to their “life lists” a number of Beringian endemics, species seldom seen outside the Aleutians. A leisurely walk around town, a drive or tour along the road system, or a hike along the coast will take you into the varied habitats of a broad list of birds. Layers, light rain gear and waterproof boots are always a good idea.

Whether you are a first-time visitor or you are planning your next trip to Alaska, the Aleutian Islands offer some of the very best chances for a truly ‘wild’ adventure experience. Free from other people in many readily accessible recreation areas, you can truly have a wilderness experience that is all your own. It takes time to learn a place, especially one with such vast physical scale and so many possibilities. As a resident of Unalaska for two decades, I have had the opportunity to explore much of Unalaska Island and throughout the Aleutian Chain. It is a great joy to share my own years of experience with guests and visitors as I offer a few tips for adventure recreation. PLAN EXTRA DAYS
JT
Allowing enough days for your trip is the best option for a successful and satisfying Aleutian Islands adventure. Weather delays for flights are common between Anchorage and Unalaska, and can also make it difficult to extend your trip from Unalaska to smaller surrounding island villages. Summer time fog, rain and wind can persist for days at a time. July and August are typically the driest months, but regardless of when you visit come prepared for many potential and abrupt weather changes in a single day. Instead of having a rigid schedule or inflexible plan in mind for your trip, be ready with a few options and prepared for changing activities based on what the weather will allow. Having a range of clothing layers and a warm hat with you will help keep you dry and comfortable and prepared for whatever the day brings.

OCEAN EXPLORING
If you only have a day or two to spend in Unalaska a car or mountain bike rental will enable you to quickly get to the starting point of some exceptional hikes. A paved bike trail along Airport Beach Road brings you to the base of a quick hike up Bunker Hill; with its historic WWII remains and stunning 360 degree views of town and surrounding waterways. Mountain bikers seeking more challenging terrain will find an extensive network of dirt and gravel roadways winding many miles through scenic valleys and mountain pass switchbacks.
Whether you are exploring by sea kayak or aboard a larger passenger vessel, taking in the spectacular coastal scenery of Unalaska and neighboring islands from the water is a must-see experience. Stunning green sea cliffs adorned by delicate cascade waterfalls tower above habitat so rich that sea birds nest by the tens of thousands. This is extreme Bering Sea birding at its very best! Get out your life list and join a local marine bird tour. Just offshore the magic comes alive as immense sky-darkening clouds of short tailed shearwaters feed in frenzied fellowship among dozens of humpback whales.
MAPS Maps of accessible hiking trail routes from Unalaska/Dutch Harbor are available from the Ounalashka Corporation. Keep in mind that many of the trails are unmarked and not maintained in any way. In some cases there is little or no physical evidence of a trail or it may suddenly disappear completely. A tip to following these trails is to look farther ahead and you may see a zigzag streak reappear along the ridge side in the distance ahead of you. On a clear day, the treeless vistas enable you to see every detail of the landscape unfolding in front of you and allow you to find a route to your own liking. Scree slopes are commonly encountered and snow slopes persist along some trails late into the summer, requiring careful steps. A few historic trails are frequented enough that they are quite easy to follow.
ADVANCED HIKERS Lengthier backcountry hikes and climbs ranging from a few days to a week or more extend to the heart of Unalaska Island’s eighty mile length. A water taxi trip across Unalaska Bay puts you on route to the glacial cap of Makushin, an active volcano and the highest point on the island. Or heft your pack and follow the traditional portage routes between the island’s three largest inlets.

Whether it is a prominent mountaintop overlook beneath your feet, or the spectacular peace of a quiet, calm bay as your kayak glides through the water, the rewards are unmatched. How about both on the same day? Guests of ours, a couple who had visited Alaska each summer for a half dozen years, were awe-struck and speechless to be standing atop the crater rim of an extinct volcano, after less than an hour of casual hiking from the beach where we left our kayaks. With a broad view unfolding before us of Unalaska Bay, in the distance the steaming cinder cone of Akutan, the words came finally that this was the most uniquely beautiful scene that they had witnessed in their Alaska travels. Thoughts quickly turned to the planning for their future Aleutians trips.

Overseeing all of the showy plant activity is the beach rye grass, a sentinel of great stature and elegance, which when used by the Unangan/Unangas, showed its traits of great utilitarian strength in the work baskets and mats that were made from the grass. Then it surpassed that strength with the delicate weaving of the smaller, more decorative items, common in the post contact era, such as decorative baskets, wall hangings, and wallets.

The variety of plants on the islands of the Aleutians, and particularly on Unalaska and Amaknak, will amaze most visitors who are fortunate to visit during summer months.

Starting at the beach and reaching the very tips of the mountains, the absolute green will shock the eye. Probably one of the most amazing, and by far the easiest methods of discovering the plant life of an Aleutian island, is to simply take a seat in the tundra. You will be astounded with the number of wildflowers, mosses, and grasses within a one foot square area, completely within the grasp of your hand.
The stinky fragrance of Fritillaria camschatcensis (the Chocolate Lily), and its edible roots. Called a wild rice, the roots were collected, boiled, and stored in oil for winter eating. They could also be dried and ground for use as a “flour”.
Unalaska Orchids The absolute beauty of the orchids on Unalaska Island, including the Lady’s Slipper, Purple Orchid, and the extremely rare Bering Bog Orchid, are not to be missed.

Aside from the simple beauty of the plant life and the importance of plants to the wildlife of the area, plants have always been important to the indigenous people who have inhabited the Aleutians for millennia. Medicinal knowledge of the plants is the one aspect of Unangan healing capabilities that survived the advent of outside contact. Absent today are the advanced surgical abilities of the Unangan/ Unangas, as well as the practice of acupuncture. The demise of both was due to the devastation of the population, from an estimated 15,000 to 25,000, to a mere 1,875 within 60 years of contact with European invaders. Use of medicinal plants requires precise knowledge of the environment, the seasonal patterns of native plants, where they grow, when to collect them (at their most potent stage), how to prepare them, and how and in what dosages to administer them. In our region of the Aleutians, the Unangan used this knowledge to cure illnesses, alleviate pain, heal burns and bone fractures, and fight infection. When we see plants we think of them, not solely in terms of beauty, but to solve and balance health needs.
Putchky
Walking from the water, one of the first plants you will encounter is Honckenya peploides, locally known as Scurvy Grass. It was the plant that saved many a Russian explorer from certain death, as it provided huge concentrations of vitamin C needed to cure or keep scurvy at bay. Although it tastes best as a young plant, even the bitter old plants will give you the vitamins that you need. It was also used as a good healer for skin conditions, so was typically made into an ointment. Scurvy Grass is a wonderful beach stabilizer and can be used in gardens for a great ground cover.
SG
Cow Parsnip, or Putchky as we call it, is a wonderful wild celery. Care must be taken when gathering and eating, as the sap reacts to sunlight and will burn your skin. Roots of the Putchky plant were used as a poultice to help draw out pain.

Recipe’
YARROW Angelica
SG
Angelica is prized for its ability at soothing sore muscles and joints, for clearing up infections, and, most surprising, healing the burn of the related Putchky plant. SG
The many uses of the Yarrow, from blood coagulator to blocker of the common cold makes one wonder about the use of plants as medicines and how the uses came about. Many elders remember the fragrance of yarrow tea steeping in their childhood homes and will sometimes just drink a cup without having any ailments.
WORMWOOD
Beach Lovage
SG
Beach Lovage is the plant used as wild parsley, though it is much more exciting than boring old parsley. It has a definite peppery flavor which lends itself extremely well in spicing seafood. Medicinally, the seeds are used to make a tea for indigestion. SG
Wormwood was used extensively for diminishing pain from rheumatism and arthritis. The leaves and stems were used either fresh or dried to switch the skin during a steam bath. The volatile oils from the plant entered the bloodstream through the open pores in the skin, easily passing through the vessel barriers. Oils and salves were also made from the plant for joint and muscle aches, as well as infections and rashes. A tea was made from the plant and taken sparingly, as a cure for chest ailments such as bronchitis and asthma.

If you don’t have fiddleheads, cooked asparagus can be a substituted.
Sprinkle bacon and onion in the bottom of the pie shell. Then layer ferns, cheese and mushrooms on top. In a bowl whisk the egg yolks. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour egg mixture into the pie shell. Bake for 10 minutes at 450°. Reduce oven heat to 350° and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, approximately 30 minutes.
There is a vast array of Aleutian flora that would be too numerous to list, here are a few examples of local plants with traditional uses. SSL

Not all fern fiddleheads are edible. Fiddleheads, a spring delicacy are young coiled fronds of the ostrich fern. Nearly all ferns have fiddleheads, but those of the ostrich fern are unlike any other. Harvest these succulent stalks of spring, when they are eight to twenty inches tall, still tender and when the frond is not yet unfurled. You don’t have to cut the fiddleheads; when bent they should snap off cleanly.

While exploring, Cory pointed out a small rocky outcropping that appeared higher than anything else we could see. Upon reaching it, we found ourselves standing at 6,007’! The Alaska Volcano Observatory puts the summit at approximately 5,906’ which was just shy of what our two GPS units were reading. We had hiked more than 15 miles to reach the highest point on Unalaska Island. We could even make out Shishaldin and Isanotski almost 150 miles off in the distance on Unimak Island.

Once we reached the rim of the fumarole we were greeted with the sight of an almost fluorescent blue pond of water inside! Moreover, there were dozens of hissing vents emitting substantial quantities of what appeared to be sulfuric gas. The smell was noticeable but a gentle breeze kept the vapors at a distance. The sight was remarkable and it most certainly made our day-and-ahalf trek to the top of Makushin Volcano worth it. This triumph only motivated us to explore the caldera further and eventually lead us to the highest point on the volcano.
