Andreanof Islands

The islands are usually foggy and treeless because of the almost constant wind.

The Andreanof Islands were named after the Russian navigator, Andreyan (Hadrian) Tolstykh, who was the first European to explore the islands in 1761.

There were several United States military bases on the islands during World War II.

The bases on Adak were enlarged and made permanent after the war but were closed in 1995.
