Introduction of Alexandria islands

The southeast coast of Alaska is a 300-mile-long archipelago with about 1, 100 islands, which are arranged in the northwest-southeast direction. It is formed by the subsidence of the earth's crust, the rise of sea level and the appearance of mountain tops. Islands have irregular coastlines, and deep straits are formed between them. There are steep coasts and dense evergreen temperate rain forests here. The main islands are Chichagov Island, Miralles Island, Baranov Island, Franger Island, Ray virag Island, Ku Prenaud Island, Dole Island and Prince of Wales Island, with a total area of about 35,000 square kilometers. All the islands are rugged mountains, with many coniferous forests and rich wildlife. Tourism, forestry and fishery are the pillars of the local economy. There are wood processing, fishery, aquatic products processing, fur, gold mining, pulp and paper making. The main fishing ports are Sitka and Ketchikan. These islands are named after the Russian explorer Alexander baranov. 174 1 year, the Russians came to the islands for the first time and established a colonial stronghold. 1867, these islands were sold to the United States together with Alaska.
