Atka is a remote village and town in the western Aleutian Islands in the U.S. state of Alaska, located on Atka Island, one of the larger settlements in the Aleutian Islands. Sparsely populated with only about 300 people, the community retains traditional fishing and crafts based on its roots in Aleutian Native American culture. The local economy relies heavily on commercial fishing (e.g., salmon, crab) and limited seasonal tourism, which attracts visitors to experience volcanic landscapes, wildlife birding (e.g., seabirds, sea otters), and World War II historical sites. As part of the Aleutian Islands chain, Atka's cold and rainy climate, with frequent strong winds in winter and brief cool summers, provides a unique window to experience the nature and people of remote Alaska.
