Dogs are not allowed as permanent residents, but they can now be enlisted in the ongoing campaign to keep the Pribilof Islands rat-free

A federal judge has vacated a land swap agreement that was key to road construction between the communities of King Cove and Cold Bay. The road would pass through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge.

With only a handful of very strong El Niños on record, it’s not clear what exactly this one will bring.

Despite several pending lawsuits, work on the road to Cold Bay is poised to move forward.

Katie Reuther joined the station in July as a reporter covering the Aleutians and Pribilof Islands. She previously worked as an independent podcast producer in Vermont.

Last year, Congress rejected a proposal to reduce the Essential Air Service budget by over 50%.

This year's total allowable catch is 13% higher than last year’s.

A Canadian crew lost control of their sailboat, the Mizuya, about 950 miles southwest of Adak Island on June 18. They were rescued in an international Coast Guard effort, and the 40-foot trimaran was left adrift. But the owner wasn’t willing to abandon his sailboat, so he went back to find it.

Most of the buildings in Adak sit empty. But more than 300 of them are wired for internet, a cost U.S. phone customers are paying. A new investigation from the Anchorage Daily News and ProPublica found the cost comes to more than $340,000 a year for a service no one on the island was using.

While the State of Alaska mobilizes to break ground on a road passing through its smallest national wildlife refuge, various environmental groups are trying to halt construction.
