In the Aleutian Islands archipelago, in the heart of Alaska, Akutan is discovered by sea. Surrounded by cliffs blanketed in a verdant tundra composed of moss, lichen, rock willow and dwarf birch, this small locality is almost entirely a fishing community. The coloured houses surround the village church and are connected to one another by wooden walkways. This is an enchanting, timeless setting, ideal for enjoying walks in nature and attempting to spot the many bird species and foxes that live there.
