Isn't this just such a wildly fascinating place? Would you ever be able to live here, do you think? And another thanks to SurfShark for sponsoring this week's video.

I wouldn’t want to live there but to visit- with pleasure! For the French speakers out there and if Alaska is fascinating you, I recommend you the book « le grand marin » by Catherine Poulain. A young woman fleeing France to work on fishing boats in Alaska. What a tale!

[@moecreations1]

Beautiful documentary and quite fascinating indeed!. Thanks to global warming, Alaska will become America's next frontier in this century. I am sure many people who love challenges, nature, solitude and not to mention weather and cold etc (regardless), will move there.

Just a correction. Anchorage is not the capital of Alaska but Juneau. Having lived there in Dutch Harbor and Alaska for the last 12 years, it has a beauty of its own. Dutch Harbor is where the commercial fishermen who goes out into the Bering Sea to go crab fishing leaves from there.

[@johnhowell8228]

I fished out of Dutch Harbor in the 90's. It was a great experience. Everything else in life has been easy after that. I wish I could share all of my experiences but it would take too long. It looks like Dutch has changed a lot. The one thing I try to describe to people that ask me about commercial fishing is the feeling of being in a quasi last frontier. Little, to no police. Ingenuity. Being rugged. Loneliness. Always longing for someone or something you miss. Dreaming about your future. It changes people. We called it the Aleutian Stare...lol

[@rayray4192]

I was always happy to arrive in Dutch and even happier to leave. Lonely barren wasteland. No place to live.

[@marvinberesford8146]

In my younger years I was fortunate enough to spend some time in the Aleutian islands while in the U. S. Coast Guard. I was lucky enough to get to Dutch Harbor, Adak and a few other places. It is absolutely a place you either love or hate. I loved it. It gets in your soul and doesn't leave. I'd love to go back some day. I was only there for a short time, but I miss it. Thanks for traveling out there and sharing this with us, it brings back a lot of good memories.

[@matthewmckenna4509]

​ @MikeB-in1nd Yes, USCGC Ironwood. I was a deck ape on a buoy tender out of Kodiak. We covered the aids to navigation out along the Aleutian chain and up into the Bering Sea. Great duty for a guy who bailed out of college and had trouble figuring out what to do with his life.

I've worked in Dutch Harbor, and the weather must be seen to be believed. The rain falls in every direction but up. But when the sun peeps through, the light is magical and it becomes one of the most beautiful places on earth.

[@WJMPhotography]

Definitely dangerous to be on a crab boat around the Bering Sea. A buddy of mine from college was just going to do that for a year to make some extra cash before transferring to another college and he was swept overboard. He was probably around 21 when he lost his life. Huge respect to those guys. Thanks for the video! It looks amazing up there!

Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear that. It is indeed an incredibly dangerous job!

That was truly amazing, like a professional documentary. As harsh and isolated as Dutch Harbor is, you made it intriguing and appealing. Thank you for this amazing opportunity.🌷

[@Mrbfgray]

Bro of mine used to talk about Dutch, he did the crab fishing thing for a few yrs to put self thru engineering college. Somehow a memorable scene. They were once holed up with a number of other fishing boats in a remote natural harbor to ride out a killer storm, 2 of the boats letting cabin fever get the best of them, were talking on the radio about leaving for open ocean, going home, while other captains tried to dissuade them, "We won't be coming to save you as we will die with you if we do." 2 boats left anyway, hours later radioing distress calls, they were getting severely iced up and ready to capsize. At some point you can't break ice off fast enough from superstructure and the boat is simply doomed to roll over. Not sure if any were rescued but many died. On average one boat per yr was lost out of Dutch a few decades ago, I assume it's better by now.

[@dennishinkle5010]

Really nice video work! I spent seven years on a research ship with the federal government studying mainly migratory seabirds but pretty much everything else, too. The Aleutian people's culture, whales, sea lions, archaeological digs, the effect of foxes on the ecosystem of the islands, even some military research. Like the people interviewed said, the weather is king. It dictates what you do in almost every aspect of your life here. I was lucky enough to have visited over eighty five islands in the years there, all the way out to Attu at the end of the chain. Besides the daily work ( I was one of two deckhands on the ship in a crew of six) we hiked everywhere, took pictures and video, worked alongside biologists and even got in a day or two of water skiing each season! I often think of the Aleutians as a cross between Ireland and the moon. Oh and Eva, Anchorage isn't the capital of Alaska, Juneau is.

[@informationcollectionpost3257]

In my opinion, one of your best videos ever. To me it sounds like a great vacation place. Working in a fishery or on a fishing boat; I can't see myself doing it. I enjoy rough water, rough weather, and remote places as getting away from constantly being connected to urbanization can become such a rat race. The power of nature seems to bring you back to the reality of what your real world is. I can see that you really enjoyed this.

[@whfowle]

I lived on an Aleutian island for almost a year and the comment about the snow going sideways is very true. Very high winds keep most of the snow off the island. Since the island chain is right on the edge of the earth's plates, you feel a lot of small earthquakes as well.

Beautiful adventure here in this video, not surprisingly coming from you. The Aleutian Islands were on the news last week due to Russia and China, which had 11 warships patrolling and conducting military exercise very near International waters. Very close to Alaska/Aleutian Islands. So our Navy sent, very quickly, four of our destroyer ships to keep an eye out on the activity. So besides weather, solitude, and all else brought up in your video in this beautiful, majestic landscape, there's that too.

The beauty is overwhelming. The Alaskan scenery isn't bad, either.

Excellent video! Thank you for showing us the roads less traveled.

Terrific video absolutely beautiful scenery and great commentary….well done !

[@UmeshPerera]

Absolutely love your videos Eva, obviously your content, filmmaking, fine art artistic features, honesty, landscape videography is top notch, so perfect, of the highest standards. But for me the most beautiful thing about your channel is who you are, you are such a sweet person that makes your creations such a pleasure to watch. Thank you Eva, I wish you the best of the universe, much love & metta, 🙏❤️☺️, umesh :)

Eva, excellent video. Your interviews drew such honest reflections from those working and living in that harsh environment. You captured a joy from everyone, deck hands, captains, and scientists that surprised me. It doesn’t seem to matter where you go, intellect and thoughtfulness can be found. Such a simple premise, go to one of the most remote places in America to see what it’s all about and it turns out to be beautiful. One of your best. ✌🏼

Very nice work showing Unalaska. Hope you get more time in other parts of the state!

[@macfanguy]

Your superpower is having people open up to you. Special!

I didn’t know there was a community on those islands 🤔Thanks for sharing 🇺🇸greetings from Norway 🇳🇴

Can we all appreciate the fact that Eva never disappointed us with her content. 🤗🥰🤚 By the way, may I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔 In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people. Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 😔

Sure, she is performing hard work & guiding to the travellers wonderfully & enjoying her passion as well. I really appreciate her.

My jaw dropped as I learnt Native Americans population in their motherland, Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while European population in their motherland, Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION.. It is a shockingly sad truth. 😔

[@baronj4210]

I would like to know, where is the point of your statistic? Was in this video anything about american "native"?

[@gelipi]

@@baronj4210 she literally talked about the people that lived here before being colonized by Russia around the 9th minute...also isn't bad that it's called Dutch harbour?

Lots of bots are here on YT with numbered names, like puppets, saying what their masters bid them to say.

[@ashleegiles4548]

Awesome video! I love how you were interviewing all of the locals, it was so interesting.

[@russellrlf]

The views in this video, of this island, are simply majestic. The sheer beauty of this planet is on full display. I am humbled by it. Thank you so much for sharing. Visiting here has been added to my bucket list.

[@Climate_Hoax]

a life you take part in is like a coin but with many more sides than just two. When I see content like this with such dramatic beauty and harsh elements, I enjoy it so much and then feel the regret from having worked so much to the point where now I feel I'm beyond the age and health where doing this type of thing myself is probably out of my reach. I've traveled the world shooting video for the airlines and met incredible people but always working, lifting, dragging professional gear around and having little time to involve myself in the places I was privileged to be. My hope for you is that you take some time to put the camera down and leave the laptop and the editing, downloading, uploading etc for another few days or a week even and just immerse yourself in the moments that may never pass your way again. I have photos and videos of Cuba, Hungary, Argentina, Peru and so many other places but my memories are of how difficult it was dragging all the gear around and having to get the shots and interviews with profession gear and not the people and their personal stories and the flavors of local life that would pass me by while I was working on a schedule. I admire your type of work where you forgo the formalities and the 40 pound cameras and 35 pound tripods and the audio gear and formats a corporation like in my case requires you to get. You get to experience more of the life in these places while doing essentially what I have been doing for 25 years without the time to experience that life. So high five yourself from me and I can't wait to see more.

[@shagwellington]

Good video. Interesting. I've been to Bristol Bay, Alaska which is about the same size. They used to be a wealthy town from the fishing but they've fished out the Bering Sea near there so the fleet has shrunk to very little and the town is just there. I admire you getting so far out there. Really good drone work.

[@evazubeck]

Interesting! And thank you!

[@louisdelmar6853]

Most excellent footage and story!!! Thanks for sharing this incredible adventure!
