rom the lush
landscape of Kodiak and the Aleutian Islands and to the rocky,
furmarole-laden terrain of the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes,
Southwest Alaska is unlike any other place on earth. Southwest is
known for several things, but largely for its brown bear
population. Two of the world's most popular viewing areas are in
Southwest Alaska. As a major hub for commercial seafood harvests,
and with the busiest commercial fishing ports in the world,
Southwest Alaska boasts some of Alaska's best fishing. And history
and culture buffs will also be fascinated with the prominent
displays from the Russian era, ruins from World War II and the
Native people who still reside in Southwest Alaska. A land of
almost untouched beauty and timeless heritage, Southwest Alaska is
truly where majesty, history and industry meet.
