In the summer months it is rumored to look like Molokai, Hawaii with its green mountainsides and wildflowers for days. The best time to visit is June through November. But that route is a several days voyage stoping in various ports and towns along the way. If you have mileage, you can get there for a great deal! If you plan to come in the summer months then I'd recommend taking the Alaska Marine Highway, otherwise known as the poor-man's cruise and a taste of true Alaska. The easiest way is book with Alaska Airlines, they have daily flights out of Anchorage operated by Pen Air. It produces 8% of the worlds seafood loads. Today Unalaska is the northern most deep water port in the north that does not freeze in the winter. After the war they were allowed back to their destroyed village and made to rebuild. Displacing them from their homes and families. The US moved the Alaska Natives to a camp in Funter Bay, in Southeast Alaska. To this day this church houses some of the oldest and richest Russian Orthodox artifacts. During WWII the Japanese invaded Attu, which is the furthest island on the chain. In the 1770's the Russian Fur Traders came and erected the Holy Ascension Russian Orthodox Cathedral, the oldest cruciform-style Russian church in the country.
The Unangan, or Aleut people have been living on the Aleutians for nearly 10,000 years living off the land and sea. A mix of ethnicities of Unangan (commonly known as Aleuts), Filipino, Samoan, Somalian, Caucasian, and others make this place incredibly diverse, in short, the food is delicious! The town population is 4,700 year round, additional seasonal workers come to work the fishing industry as Dutch Harbor has had the biggest seafood catch in the US for nearly 20 years. The coastline is filled with pinnacles, sheer cliffs, and sandy beaches.

The entire island is beautiful grassy tundra, free of bears. Supposedly these horses were once farm animals turned loose from various locals several decades ago. Known to be friendly, all island horses have been gelded as they are non-native species. The other side of the island has wild horses. The highest elevation US Military camp that is still very much in place as it was built to withstand 100 mph winds on the regular.
Located about a third of the way west on the 1,100 mile long Aleutian chain that contains nearly 70 different islands! On one side of Unalaska Island is Fort Schwatka, the old WWII Military Fort with bunkers still intact. Unalaska, also known as Dutch Harbor, Alaska is simply magical.
