Kodiak, Coastal city in Alaska, US.
The city sits at an elevation of 15 meters on Kodiak Island, serving as the main transportation hub between seven island communities.
The settlement evolved from Paul's Harbor in 1792 to become the first capital of Russian Alaska, with Russian colonists establishing fur trading operations.
The Kodiak Crab Festival during Memorial Day weekend brings together local food vendors, races, and carnival activities for residents and visitors.
The Alaska Marine Highway provides regular ferry services, while Kodiak Airport connects travelers to regional destinations throughout Alaska.
Two hydroelectric stations and wind turbines supply renewable power to the city, marking a shift from traditional fossil fuel dependency.
