Hot Springs On Adak Island
The orange dot marks the spring, in a frame about three quarters of a mile wide.
Scalding springs on Adak Island, a few hundred feet from Pollitt Road. The water was measured well above what skin can take. Access and land ownership are not on record. Dutch Harbor is listed as the nearest community, nearly three hundred miles away, which tells you how far out the Aleutian chain this sits.
Close to the road, which is unusual for these islands, and low, a few hundred feet over the water. Cool wet year, snow in winter, rain otherwise. Neither land unit nor owner appears. Cabin and campground fields are empty. The record has a road name and a temperature and not much beyond those two.
December through February are the months the climate data prefers. Scalding; do not enter at the source, and check any pool below it before touching the water. Ownership unknown; ask on Adak. Nothing is recorded on fees or camping, and nothing says if a usable soaking spot exists at all.
USGS hasn't flown a detailed laser scan here yet, so this view comes from aerial photos and older elevation data.
