St. Paul & Pribiloff Islands
St. Paul Island is part of the Pribilof archipelago, one of the most remote island groups in the world, located off the West coast of Alaska in the Bering Sea.
From breathtaking heights atop the cliffs way above the ocean waves, see a diverse array of birds soaring in the updrafts and nesting among the jagged cliffs. Colorful puffins, Red-legged Kittiwakes and Red-faced Cormorants are a few of the many species seen on the islands. Step back in time with a visit to the Russian Orthodox Church, a structure that still stands as a reminder of past influences and which binds the community together today.
