This beautiful region has over a hundred different species of birds and is home to the rare Aleutian chain birds. There are also about 40 million seabirds that make their homes on the Aleutians, making it a perfect place to view these beautiful creatures. Some of the bird species you will find in the area include the horned puffin, tufted puffin, and the Steller eider. The McKay&#8217;s bunting is one of the rarest songbirds in the United States, and you&#8217;ll want to spend some time watching it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city of Dutch Harbor and Unalaska has a strong Russian influence. This town was colonized by Russian fur traders in the 1700s and was populated by them until 1867. You&#8217;ll be able to see this influence in the city&#8217;s architecture and culture when you visit. In the town of Dutch-Harbor, you&#8217;ll find the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Ascension of Christ, which was completed in 1896. It&#8217;s one of the first cruciform Orthodox churches in North America and has a unique onion dome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for an amazing photo opportunity of a famous bird, Dutch Harbor and Unalaska are a great place to go. The region is home to several endemic species. There&#8217;s the Bald Eagle, the Tufted Puffin, and the Northern Fulmar. You can also spot the Laysan Albatross, a near-threatened bird, and the Whiskered Auklet, a unique endemic to the Bering Sea. Many of these blown-off birds arrive in Dutch-Harbor and Unalaska, which makes it a perfect place to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Russian influence in Dutch Harbor and Unalaska is strong. During the early 1700s, Russian fur traders first settled in the region. They remained here until the end of 1867, and were influential in the area. In 1896, the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Ascension of Christ was built. This is the oldest cruciform-style Orthodox church in North America, and was built on the foundations of several older churches and chapels. The onion-domed cathedral is easily recognized by the distinctive onion-styled domes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town is located on an island with steep cliffs and a naturally deep port. The city of Unalaska covers a large area of the island and is connected to Amaknak Island via a bridge. The community of Dutch Harbor is called Unalaska, and the nearby city of Ounask is called Ounask. These two places are part of the largest fishing port in the United States, and are a popular destination for tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dutch Harbor is a naturally deep, protected port, located on the southwest shore of Amaknak Island. The city of Unalaska is a small island in the middle of the Aleutians, and the city of Unalaska has three major docks serving fishing and shipping. The refurbished World War II sub dock is used for ship repairs. There are also two mooring slips for smaller boats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have never visited the region before, you must do so.
