St. Matthew Island is quite isolated in the Bering Sea in Alaska and is uninhabited. Especially the spectacular landscape and the animal world make this island a jewel.
In 1944, reindeer were introduced to St. Matthew (then as an emergency ration, if food was to be become short at the then existing research station), which had grown to a considerable flock by 1644, but then died out of food shortages and cold.
