Island Setting

The Pribilof Islands comprise a five-island archipelago lying in the southeastern Bering Sea. While a myriad of wildlife inhabits the islands and the surrounding sea, only the two largest islands of the archipelago, St. George and St. Paul, have established human populations. The following pages describe the Pribilof Islands’ unique setting in the Bering Sea.
