St. Paul Alaska

14 August 2012

Dear Travelers,

We will explore one of the four Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea while only 500 miles from Siberia, St. Paul is home to the largest Aleut population in the world. Descendants of an ancient native population on the mainland, the Aleuts of St. Paul remain skilled fishermen, hunters and artisans. Today, St. Paul is known for its excellent bird-watching (248 species have been sighted) and wildlife, particularly its Northern Fur Seal rookery and endemic the Blue Fox. Two U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crew stationed here during crab season have been featured on the Discorvery Channel's Deadliest Catch series.

See you there...

Rinell :-)
