ABC islands (Alaska)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The ABC Islands is the colloquial name for the Alaskan islands of Admiralty, Baranof, and Chichagof in the Alexander Archipelago. The islands are known their wilderness and the wildlife, which includes a species of so-called brown bear that is more closely related to polar bears[1].

Most of the islands' area is federally protected wilderness. There is only minimal industry and human presence on the islands, despite the fact that Baranof and Chichagof are among the largest islands in the United States.
