F 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.
