Chignik, AK

Chignik is a tiny fishing village of 27 people on Alaska's remote Pacific coast, accessible only by small plane or boat since no roads reach the community. The economy revolves around salmon fishing during summer runs. Chignik Airport (KCG) provides the main connection to the outside world, with flights from Anchorage and regional hubs. The post office doubles as the village's social hub where residents gather when the mail plane arrives.
