	Aleutian Islands
		The Aleutian Islands (possibly from Chukchi aliat, "island") are a chain of small islands situated in the Northern Pacific Ocean, and extending about 1200 miles westward from the extremity of the Alaskan peninsula toward the peninsula of Kamchatka.
		During World War II, the Aleutian islands were the only area of the United States to be occupied by Japanese forces when Attu and Kiska[?] were invaded in order to divert American forces away from the main Japanese attack at Midway Island.
		The Aleutian Islands are likely to be an important part of the National Missile Defense system proposed to defend the United States from small ballistic missile attacks.

	EPA: Federal Register: Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Final Rule To Remove the Aleutian Canada Goose ...
		The decline of the Aleutian Canada goose was primarily the result of the introduction of Arctic foxes (Alopex lagopus) and, to a lesser extent, red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) to its breeding islands for the purpose of developing a fur industry.
		A discussion of the status of the Aleutian Canada goose relative to the recovery objectives follows: (1) The most recent estimate of the overall population of Aleutian Canada geese is approximately 37,000 birds (December 1999 peak spring count), nearly 5-times the population objective for delisting.
		In 1992, we transported 19 captive Aleutian Canada geese to Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka, Russia to establish a captive population of geese as a nucleus for reintroduction of Aleutian Canada geese in Russia.

	Aleutian Range - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Aleutian Range is a major mountain range of southwest Alaska, extending from Chakachamna Lake (80 miles/130 km southwest of Anchorage) to Unimak Island, at the tip of the Alaska Peninsula.
		The mainland part of the range is about 600 miles (1000 km) long; the Aleutian Islands are (geologically) a partially submerged western extension of the range that stretches for another 1,600 km (1000 mi).
		The range is almost entirely roadless wilderness, and Katmai National Park and Preserve, a large national park within the range, must be reached by boat or plane.

	CLIMATE OF ALASKA
		The two longest mountain ranges are the Brooks Range which separates the Arctic region from the interior and the Alaska-Aleutian Range which extends westward along the Alaska Peninsula and the Aleutian Islands, and northward about 200 miles from the Peninsula, then eastward to Canada.
		TEMPERATURE – Mean annual temperatures in Alaska range from the low 40’s under the maritime influence in the south to a chilly 10 degrees a long the Arctic Slope north of the Brooks Mountain Range.
		WIND – A normal storm track along the Aleutian Island chain, the Alaska Peninsula, and all of the coastal area of the Gulf of Alaska exposes these parts of the state to a large majority of the storms crossing the North Pacific, resulting in a variety of wind problems.

		The decrease of Aleutian Canada geese on Agattu Island between 1906, when they were termed the most abundant bird (Clark 1910), and 1937, [[Page 42059]] when only a few pairs were observed (Murie 1959), attests to the precipitous nature of their decline.
		We have not conducted surveys recently in the central Aleutians to determine the current goose population on Chagulak Island and to evaluate the success of recent transplants and determine the number of pioneering birds to fox-free islands in the area.
		The lack of growth of the Semidi Islands breeding segment of Aleutian Canada geese despite protection on the breeding and wintering grounds led to speculation that this breeding segment was inbred and lacked genetic variability.

		The Aleutian Islands and their continuation on the mainland of the Alaska Peninsula (known as the Aleutian Range) are one of the world's major volcanic arcs, forming a chain of more than 80 stratovolcanoes stretching over 2000 miles from south-central Alaska across the North Pacific towards Russia.
		The Wrangells are a volcanic range, containing several of the largest land-based shield volcanoes in the world such as Mounts Wrangell, Sanford, and Blackburn, all encased in a series of massive glaciers and icefields.
		Most of this range is non-volcanic, uplifted by the same collisional forces as the Alaska Range, and it includes the 2nd and 4th highest peaks in North America, Mounts Logan and Saint Elias.

	PBS - Harriman: Kristine Crossen -Aleutian Volcanoes and Plate Tectonics
		A subduction zone, composed of the deep Aleutian Trench coupled with a landward line of volcanoes, creates a series of offshore islands (the Aleutians) as well as a line of volcanoes along the edge of the continent (the Aleutian Range on the Alaska Peninsula).
		Aleutian volcanoes erupt sporatically, and have not been studied long enough to predict a recurrence rate.
		Most Aleutian volcanoes are located in remote areas, and their eruptions thus affect few inhabitants living on their slopes (unlike volcanoes in the Phillipines, Italy or Central America).

		The two longest mountain ranges are the Brooks Range, which separates the Arctic region from the interior; and the Alaska- Aleutian Range, which extends westward along the Alaska Peninsula and the Aleutian Islands, and northward about 200 miles from the Peninsula, and then eastward into Canada.
		Other shorter but important ranges are the Chugach Mountains, which form a rim to the central north Gulf of Alaska; and the Wrangell Mountains lying to the northeast of the Chugach Range and south of the Alaska Range.
		The Alaska-Aleutian Range and the mountains bordering the Gulf of Alaska are particularly prone to this type of turbulence; however, any range of hills or mountains which may seem insignificant on a terrain map can cause severe low-level turbulence under strong low-level wind conditions.
