Saint Damien lived and died at Kalapapa...😢

People who think the earth is flat and Antarctica is an impassible ice wall should watch this.

My mom was raised here in the 70's and tells me stories all the time. Adaks "forest" is so small that the sign leading into it says "you are now entering and leaving Adaks National forest" :)

Christopher ginet is really handsome tbh

The second scientist is really handsome

COOL VIDEO

I don't care about the chef. You lost me with this slow start. Au revoir.

I think we let governments off too easy.... It's especially government policy deliberate or gross negligence that displaced and arguably destroyed an entire unique society of people. I'm not sure what the right word is but their inaction destroyed the outport and outport people.

Socotra Island and Abdul Kuri Island are part of Greater Somalia originally in the Indian Ocean within the borders of Somalia on the continent of Africa. Yemen is not mine.

5:01 I didn't expect to hear about a Billy Mitchell on this video

I lived on Adak between '81 and '83 5th and 6th grade student. We lived on Salmon Circle in Robert's housing, which I believe is now leveled. Some things I remember: Playing at the dump. Staying out on the playground until 11 PM because there was still light. Sunshine liberty, when school closed so we could enjoy a 60-degree day in our shorts and t-shirts! Blizzards that shut down the roads for a couple of days. My sister being blown away exiting the Bering building after swimming lessons in the most chorine-laden pool I've ever been in. Baskin-Robins in the Bearing building. Playing hide and seek in foxholes left over from WWII...really hard to be found with the wind-swept tundra blowing over you. Herring fishing in Clam Lagoon - we always went late at night and my friend Barbara R. and I ate Tutti-Frutti drink mix in her dad's camper/pickup truck. Thousands of Sand Dollars. 4th of July fireworks over the Bering Sea wearing warm coats. Bald Eagles. Bald Eagles harassing pets, probably eating some. The time my dad and his fishing buddies were followed by a pod of killer whales (Mr. Swisher?) in their refurbished 16-foot (tiny) fishing boat. My mom learning to clean halibut he brought home. The best beer-batter fried halibut you can imaging. Finding the leavings of sailors in abandoned Quonset huts. Finger Bay. Traffic Circle. Salmon. Dolly Varden. Getting up at 3 AM to ride bikes to Traffic Circle with my sister to go fishing because the fishing is better at that hour (not sure who told us that...maybe it was a tide thing). A new school - Ann C. Steven's elementary was opened when I was there. Ike Isenhour, who ran the seismology station at the time, instilling a fascination with earthquakes to this day. Ms. M. Wilkins, my fifth grade and best teacher ever. Ms. Chainey, who was also a great teacher. Mr. G. Sawyer, who introduced us all to the synthesizer in band...because they were a big deal back then. Riding the bus home with rowdy marines. Bowling with mom and dad....the place was full of cigarette smoke and I kept score on paper score sheets. Sledding with all the kids in the neighborhood. Crab. Walking on catwalks alongside/underneath some very large piers and seeing the rainbow-colored Japanese Perch in the clear waters. The elephant cage where my dad worked. Looking at Mt. Sitka across the bay. Garbage flights. "AFARTS" radio. Watching the "droopy-wing" airplanes on the runway. Orientation and learning about hypothermia. Frequent earthquakes. Riding in the back of pickup trucks with the wind in our hair. The road rally/scavenger hunt. It was a great place to be a kid.

This guy reminds me of Sam from HAI. They should collab sometime

Very educational on history, but no mention of the Roman Catholic hero priest, Father Damien De Veuster --now Saint Damien due to his dedication for the sick and building much of the infrastructure not only on Kalaupapa but on the entire island of Molokai -- St. Philomena Church; St. Joseph Church; Our Lady of Sorrows Church; Saint Sophia church.

it's confusing cuz of the pronunciation of "aleutian" - but those (like me) who grew up in alaska know that they pronounce their tribal name "aleut" with 3 syllables - AL ee oot"

AHORA hay que tomarse la antartica no esperar mas , por derecho historico es chilena y punto , ademas los otros paises tienen muchos problemas tanto militar estrategico y economico para estar defendiendo soberania en el sur chileno , nosotros estamos mucho mas cerca de TODOS , es ahora o cagamos , asi de sencillo, hay que aprofechar el momento si no lo ven los militares y politicos chilenos se arrepenterian el resto de la vida acuerdence

location in chile not antartica

Sorry, I had to go at commyhommyha.

Socotra Island and Abdul Kuri Island are part of Greater Somalia originally in the Indian Ocean within the borders of Somalia on the continent of Africa. This will never come true for them. This is the dream of the Arabs, Yemen and the Emirates together.

how does he make a video about something interesting so boring?

I think further settling of Antarctica is definitely possible as long as there's the political will to.

A couple of billion to repair and rehab Adak Naval Station is a drop in the bucket, compared to what we are absolutely WASTING around the world in other countries with ZERO return on investment. A way forward here is to allow real capitalization to proceed, without excessive government intervention and or restriction. This is how The West was won, and it can work on Adak too. Independence, self-sustainability, profit. The Arctic is opening up, and it's going to be huge! Another 26 Billion given to Israel to assist in genocidal actions against it's own people, another 61 Billion to Ukraine, to support a war, everyone knows will be won by Russia; another 17 Billion to Taiwan for military preparations to hang onto land which for 1000s of years was part of China. All these LOSER WASTES OF MONEY, but investment in American lands, American peoples, this goes unanswered and silent. The level of stupidity and shortsightedness of the American government today is staggering, wasteful, and sad. Good luck to those lone folks on Adak, they are what Americans used to be, and can be again.

They closed down the school :(

@6:00 stock footage shows russian flag flying upside down

I used to live there. My dad was in the navy and I lived there between 1989 and 1992. LOL, I lived there as a kid when the fire chief in this video was there. I saw that McDonalds get built. It was a big deal.

You forgot to mention the insanely huge cattle herds that roam adak😂

"One of the Italy’s Most Visited Places"... I doubt it's even in the top 100 most visited towns in Italy.

Tenemos un casino enjoy para los pingüinos ludopatas!....😂😂😂😂

A bit bizarre having a photo of a politician (ie divisive, transient) like macron up on the wall.

2:43 yeast and west

These Arabs becoming a problem The island is between somalia and yemen What's UAE doing there

Wondering why you used a picture of a fishing stage that is actually located 500km away from Little Bay Islands..... Harbour Drive, Dunville NL.

I bet the night view of the sky is amazing

these girls are porn stars too?

I visited my good buddy on Adak during July 2023. I loved it!! The beauty is just stunning. It is lonely but I enjoyed the peace and quiet. The locals are amazing network of people that care for the elderly and look out for other. Like we are supposed to be doing. ❤️

Unwatchable. Sorry .

I was station there 74-75. It was an experience.

bleak and fascinating at the same time.

Russia as “the bad guys” is a Globalist mutherfuggin fiction to keep Military INDUSTRIAL complex humming.

work on pronunciation before making videos about places foreign to you

This island is a central part of a book called "KILO CLASS", by Patrick Robinson.

I seriously doubt that the U.S. Military will return to Adak. They have let this island's infrastructure go to pot. From all the videos it seems very little has been spent on upkeep. I spent 5 years on Adak and remember seeing the NMCB's repairing roads and the Seabees from PW maintaining the buildings every day.. From I see, nobody is maintaining anything these days. There is also evidence of extreme vandalism to buildings on Bering Hill and NSGA, so much that I can see where much of the asbestos that was encapsulated is now all over the place. The Navy left billions of dollars worth of infrastructure for "REUSE", and it has been left to rot. The "City of Adak" is pretty much a joke these days.

395 days on the ROCK 🪨 😱🤔😆🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Would love to move there full time.

Spent over a year in total on Adak, mostly 1997-2002, but also a bit a few years later. Environmental cleanup for the Navy. Beautiful place. Loved the volcanoes, loved the sea, loved the bald eagles, the otters, etc. Cleanest air you can imagine. Peaceful. I am an introvert, but even so, it is a lonesome place and won't work for most people for long.

Excellent service! Thank you....

I guess the football team sucks

Great video. What was missing though was one unique report that singled out Adak as the best place between Tokyo and Seattle to refuel aircraft AND ships in the hydrogen age since you could build wind and wave power cheaply and relatively easily on the island due to its natural conditions, not to mention of course its half-way strategic location between continents as the video said... Adak could be Pacific version of Keflavik and Reykjavik the way that Anchorage was and is today...

Mount Ross is 1,850 m a.s.l. high, or 6,070 feet, not 6,445 ft.

God Speed and good luck, Adakians 🎉

Very unique video's for different types of islands but way of living is original humans for common ground, Macedonian Republic have a idea Artistic people from all ART lines to live and work on remote island.
