The roar of our rusty pickup truck rumbling down a dirt road on Alaska’s Adak Island is the only sound for miles besides the constant howling wind. Classic rock plays on the only radio station in this remote destination on the Aleutian chain, about halfway between Seattle and Tokyo. This photograph taken July 8, 2021, shows Clam Lagoon, located on the northeast side of Adak Island, Alaska, and the Great Sitkin Volcano in the distance. But the real reason to visit Adak lies outside of its semi-ghost town. This photograph taken July 8, 2021, shows a Cold War-era bunker, one of many that dot hillsides across Adak Island, Alaska.
