Summary A three-week-long journey from California, through British Columbia and Alaska, to one of the loneliest and least known spots on Earth. Halfway between Russia and Alaska, the Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea collide at what the Aleuts called the Birthplace of the Winds. Our goal was to kayak among five volcanic islands rising straight out of the seas - the Islands of Four Mountains - and climb their snow-capped peaks. Weather and tides would dictate our itinerary. Two 21-foot kayaks carried everything need for five weeks. Success was far from assured in a region where it is common for gales to exceed a hundred miles an hour. In addition strong currents, ten-foot standing tidal rips and constant winds churn the channels separating the islands.
