“Nevertheless, that’s the conditions that prevail” *said every Bostonian*
Bountiful Mother Nature has endowed these islands with all the variety of weather from her abundant storehouse- IN FACT, THE OLD BAG BLEW HER TOP!
Jimmy Durante creature voicing was funny.
I live in Alaska. It does indeed get "quite breezy" here but it doesn't die down as quickly as it arrives lol. Very enjoyable video. Thank you all
My dad served there, I wonder if he had to watch this film. 250th Coast Arty Bn.

@J HB - 👍👍 My dad, a USAF pilot, was also stationed there, in Adak in 1949-1950. In fact, my older sister was born there at the base hospital. My dad had told me many times while I was growing up how extremely dangerous flying there was as the weather was not only hazardous, but worse, completely unpredictable (as depicted in this SNAFU cartoon).

Yes more than once too 😆
I used to live out there. The POW camps are still standing. Lots of WW2 bunkers and tunnels
My was stationed there from 53-56. When I was in bmts I had to fill out a dream sheet ( where you want to be assigned) 1st choice Alaska.
My father began his 21 year SeaBee career in these islands building and maintaining camps.

Those are Elephant Seals...I was born and raised in Alaska and those are some of the weirder looking animals we have up here. Of course, they probably say the same thing about us humans...
