RE: Scouting around the Ghost Village of Unga Island
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
the Shumagin Islands
There are many places and objects with Russian names in Alaska. There is still a lot of talk, jokes, and funny songs about this in Russia.
"the semi-feral cows" - What are these cows and what do they eat? How do they survive in winter?
Interesting places and beautiful views. But abandoned diesels and rusty barrels make me sad.
But the view of the ruined house overgrown with grass is very reminiscent of abandoned villages, of which there are a lot in my region and the surrounding ones too.
I am watching your adventures with great interest.

I found out that "Shumagin" was one of the sailors on the Bering expedition who died early in the trip, here in these islands. I see so many Russian names still used out here. And some of the beautiful old Russian orthodox churches are still in use by many of the locals.
