I was raised in Alaska, my dad was born in Bethel in 1944, my grandfather was there during the Japanese attack and helped train the people of that area to protect their land best they could. It’s strange how America never talks about that much, these people died and suffered and were forgotten if you ask me.

I highly recommend you take the helicopter from Kona to Hilo on the big island of Hawaii. After going over active volcanos, they fly you into a large crevace where you are surrounded by waterfalls above, below and completely around you. The most amazing thing I've ever seen. Oh and when we refueled in Hilo to return to Kona, Air Force One (with Obama), just happened to be there right next to us.

I spent a year on Kodiak Island in the U.S. Navy in 1960-61. It was a beautiful island, with fearsome winds called willie waws, but until I watched this video I was unaware of the spectacular and wild islands such a Umnak west of Kodiak. I greatly admire your courage and appreciate your showing this superb video.

When i first watched this earlier today, i was taken aback, amazed & I felt the tears welling up in my eyes. I said to my family, that there are some places in this world, that are truly unknown globally & are quite underrated, possible even very underrated. This is one such place, but gosh, what amazing & utterly breathtaking natural beauty abound!! Such beauty abound, that I felt the intense desire to rewatch this (which I'm now doing), just to take it all in & come to truly appreciate the true beauty & majesty that is Mother Nature. This world of ours, our blue planet, is so stunning & precious, so we all have a moral obligation to take care of it, so much better, than we've done so thus far.

Wow! I used to work as a Fisheries Observer on commercial fishing boats out of Dutch Harbor. You did something I have wanted to do for more than 30 years. Now, I am too old. I especially wanted to explore the geyser areas on Umnak Island. The closest I ever got was being on a fishing boat that was anchored in Hot Springs Bay for several days, waiting out a storm. On the other hand, I have been all the way to the west end of the Aleutian Islands, albeit on a boat. So much beauty there, but always out of reach for me, except for Dutch Harbor.
