Hotspot volcanoes are considered to have a fundamentally different origin from island arc volcanoes. It is this that fuels a chain of volcanoes, such as the Aleutian Islands, near Alaska.

Stretched across the ocean between two continents, the Aleutians are an important habitat for birds. The islands are part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, the largest refuge in the United States. More seabirds nest in the Alaska Maritimes than anywhere else in North America.

The Aleutians separate the Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea. They are whipped by notorious winds and battered by 50 foot waves. They form the 1,200-mile northern arc of the Pacific Ring of Fire. NOAA Fisheries scientists continue to discover new species of fish and invertebrates in the Aleutians.

In June 1942, Japan had seized the remote, sparsely inhabited islands of Attu and Kiska, in the Aleutian Islands. It’s also possible the Japanese believed holding the two islands could prevent the U.S. from invading Japan via the Aleutians. Either way, the Japanese occupation was a blow to American morale.

The name Koryak was from the exonym word ‘Korak’, meaning ‘with the reindeer (kor)’ in a nearby group Chukotko-Kamchatkan language. The earliest references to the name ‘Koryak’ were recorded in the writings of the Russian cossack Vladimir Atlasov, who conquered Kamchatka for the Tsar in 1695.
