Attu Island

Attu Island is the largest of Alaska's Aleutian Islands, located in the northern Pacific Ocean. It is inhabited by a small number of residents and is known for its rugged landscape, diverse wildlife, and dramatic weather. During World War II, Attu was the site of significant battles between American and Japanese forces, making it a key historical location. Today, the island is part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, offering opportunities for birdwatching and exploring pristine nature. Attu’s remote location and challenging climate contribute to its unique character and limited accessibility.
