| Western Alaska |
| For those with a naturalist streak, few places
on earth compare with the wonders of Southwest
Alaska. Brown bears amble along the hills and
plains, and more than 240 bird species inhabit
Alaska’s Southwest region. The region’s
terrain ranges from a landscape of volcanoes
in Katmai National Park created by the 1912
eruption of the Novarupta volcano, to the windswept
Aleutian Islands that make a 1,000-mile sweep
toward Asia. |
|
| Western Communities: |
| Bethel,
Alaska is located at the mouth of the Kuskokwim
River, 40 miles inland from the Bering Sea. |
| Dillingham,
Alaska is located at the extreme northern
end of Nushagak Bay in northern Bristol Bay,
at the confluence of the Wood and Nushagak
Rivers. |
| Dutch Harbor,
Alaska overlooks Iliuliuk Bay
on Unalaska Island in the Aleutian Chain. |
| Nome,
Alaska was built along the Bering Sea, on the
south coast of the Seward Peninsula, facing
Norton Sound. |
