THE ISLANDS OF FOUR MOUNTAINS

A fantastic resource is the website for “Prehistoric Resilience in the Islands of the Four Mountains.” This international project “interdisciplinary in scope, will study the connections among geological, ecological, and human systems in the Islands of the Four Mountains.”

The website has a wonderful slideshow with some breath-taking images of Chuginadak Island.
