Commander
Islands-
on the rim of the
Pacific Ocean
jewel of nature
The Commander Islands are the
westernmost extension of the Aleutian Islands , though they are separated from
the rest of the chain by 207 miles (333 km). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commander_Islands The Commander Islands are situated east of the Kamchatkan Peninsula in
the Bering Sea. However in 1825, Aleuts from the
Aleutian Islands were relocated to the Commander Islands to expand the Russian
fur trade and bolster Russian claims to sovereignty.These first settlers
populated both Medney and Bering Islands but today the entire population of
about 800 lives in the small village of Nikol'skoye on Bering Island http://heritage-expeditions.com/destination/commander-islands/ The Commander Islands form
the westernmost part of the Aleutian islands' arc. This arc can be considered
as a connecting link between Asia and North America - a bridge, along which
plants and animals were settling apart. Some of them cannot be found anywhere
else in Russia… . http://www.nhpfund.org/nominations/commander.html
