Pribilof Islands Alaska - Alaska travel and tours with Homer Travel & Tours

	There is a common saying on the islands: "This is the only place in the world where you can experience all four seasons in one hour." Alaska's most unique and remote, and the largest Aleut communities in the world -- the Pribilof Islands of St. Paul and St. George -- are easily accessible from Anchorage. Social life is community-oriented, with many time-honored Native and Russian traditions. The islands, a bird watcher's paradise, are home to sea birds such as puffins, auklets, murres, and rare red-legged kittiwakes and more than 220 bird species have been identified on the Pribilofs, some from as far away as Argentina and Siberia. The Pribilofs are the site of the world's largest gatherings of marine mammals each summer when one million northern fur seals return to breed and give birth. Reindeer and Arctic blue fox can also be found here.
