| | Alaska: Unalaska (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Even in Alaska, where such contradictions are common, Unalaska (interchangeably known to nonresidents as Dutch Harbor, or simply Dutch) stands apart by virtue of degree. |
 | | But to travelers and residents alike, what defines Unalaska isn't its natural beauty or manmade grubbiness, but its isolation and the tenuous strands that link it to the rest of the world. |
 | | Unalaska is the only place I've ever heard the pilot announce, as he revved his engines for takeoff on a windy, rain-spattered October evening, "OK, hang on-here we go." Once airborne, the 737 thumping upward through turbulence, the packed cabin broke into spontaneous applause. |
