Who Lives On Adak at Darla Jaimes blog

Who Lives On Adak. By alaska standards, adak — with its lack of trees, brush and bears — is surprisingly amenable to backcountry travel, and everyone on the island has a story. Adak once housed more than 6,000 people, now about 80 remain. Only about 120 residents remain. The us government built the adak army base and naval operating base in 1942 to launch aerial attacks against islands held by the japanese. To the left is kuluk bay, and beyond that the bering sea. The housing pictured here is almost entirely abandoned. (this compares to 90,000 stationed during the peak in world war ii and 6,000 during the cold war.) most community functions—city offices, community center, gym, post office, the school with a handful of students—are housed in the old high school building. But in the 1990's, the pentagon closed the adak base, abruptly leaving behind the infrastructure for a whole town.
