Work in Kodiak Island Alaska

When most people think of Alaska, they imagine it to be a frozen wilderness locked in snow with ice ten months of the year. Although Alaska does have its cold spots, Kodiak Island lies on the southern coast of Alaska and has a very moderate climate.

The Kodiak Island Archipelago also has a very unique geography. With green, snow-tipped mountains plunging into deep, tree-lined fjords, it reminds some people of Norway or Ireland. That's why we call it Alaska's Emerald Isle.

Kodiak Island has a rich historical and cultural heritage. The Alutiiq people have inhabited Kodiak Island for more than 7,500 years. To find out more about the area's Alutiiq culture, visit the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce Cultural Heritage page.
