## About Akutan Hot Springs

Akutan Hot Springs is a geothermal area on Akutan Island, with many vents spread across it and the village of Akutan about six miles away. The borough is Aleutians East. No one has logged a measured temperature for the site, and there is nothing on record about public access. That makes it a place to read about first. Nobody can say from this listing if the water can be entered anywhere.

The springs lie in high ground for an island, with the nearest road ending about four miles short of them, so the last stretch is on foot over whatever the terrain gives you. The climate is cold and damp through the year, with an annual average in the mid thirties. Winter snowfall is moderate by Alaska standards. Rain falls in most months.

Wikipedia describes Akutan Hot Springs as a system of several dozen thermal springs and a geyser, all part of the Akutan geothermal area on Akutan Island.

No best-months window is recorded, and nothing in the climate data singles out a season. Count on a hike of roughly four miles from where the road stops. Temperature and access are both blank, so ask in Akutan before going and do not assume the water is safe to get into. Wikipedia mentions a geyser among the springs.
