Adak

Adak is best known in Alaska for the former Naval Air Facility Adak, a Cold War outpost that once made this remote settlement a major United States military presence in the Aleutians. The community occupies Adak Island in the Andreanof Islands, with the Bering Sea to the north and the North Pacific to the south. These volcanic islands form a long arc between Alaska and Russia; treeless slopes, persistent wind and rapidly changing weather distinguish Adak from mainland Alaska. The military installation closed in 1997, yet its broad roads and remaining buildings recall the era when thousands of personnel lived here. Adak is also part of the traditional homeland of the Unangax̂ people. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of the Aleutian Islands connects regionally.
