Wrangell Airport WeatherCam

Wrangell Airport (PAWG) sits on Wrangell Island near the southern end of Southeast Alaska — one of the oldest non-Native settlements in Alaska, with continuous occupation by Russian, British, and U.S. flags going back to 1834. The FAA WeatherCam here monitors the maritime weather typical of the Inside Passage: fog, rain, low ceilings, and the occasional spectacular clear day. PAWG is served by Alaska Airlines with daily 737 jet service connecting Wrangell to Petersburg, Juneau, Ketchikan, and onward to Seattle and Anchorage. The Alaska Marine Highway ferry also serves Wrangell, and floatplane operators provide service to the surrounding lodges, the Stikine River corridor, and the Anan Bear Observatory. Wrangell sits at the mouth of the Stikine River — one of the great wild rivers of North America, originating in northern British Columbia and flowing 400 miles to the Pacific. The Stikine is the only river providing road access from coastal Alaska into the British Columbia interior (via jet boat tours during summer). The river also brings massive bald eagle gatherings every spring when eulachon (a small oily fish) run upriver — one of the largest concentrations of bald eagles in the world. Wrangell's character runs deep — it has the Wrangell Museum, the petroglyph beach (with prehistoric petroglyphs accessible at low tide), Chief Shakes Tribal House, and a salmon-and-timber-based economy that has shifted toward tourism and small-fleet commercial fishing in recent decades. Visitors come for the bear viewing at Anan Creek (one of the few places where black bears and brown bears share the same salmon stream), the jet boat tours up the Stikine, the salmon and halibut fishing, and the small-town Southeast Alaska feel that bigger cruise destinations have largely lost.
