Bleak, mountainous Attu had a population of only about forty people prior to the Japanese invasion. As yet there has been no word as to what happened to these people when the Japanese took over. This is a picture of Attu village situated on Chichagof harbour where much of the recent fighting took place. The tundra, with which the slopes of the hills are covered, may look easy to traverse, but its depth, two or three feet, makes walking difficult and tiring. In June or July, according to experts of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, these slopes will be covered with flowers of which more than 100 different varieties may be found there

Temperatures often dip below freezing, but there's no cooling of the thermal features in Yellowstone National Park in the northwest corner of Wyoming. (Small additional park acreage also spills into neighboring Idaho and Montana.) Heavier blankets of snow are equally common in the park's bitter wintertime, posing a survival hazard for wildlife
