Alinchak

Alinchak lies on the Alaska Peninsula, where the volcanic Aleutian Range rises near Mount Chiginagak and the Aniakchak caldera. Aniakchak has erupted at least forty times in the last ten thousand years, and its crater, about ten kilometres across, sits in the same chain of peaks. The Koniag Alutiiq of the peninsula belonged to the same Alutiiq world as the people of Kodiak, whose coast the Russian fur trade reached in 1784.
