Amchitka Island, AK – In 1971, a group of Canadian environmental and peace activists attempted to sail to Alaska's Amchitka Island, in protest of the American government's plans to conduct the largest underground nuclear test in North America on the island. They failed to get anywhere near the island before the bomb was set off, but the mission did lead to the creation of the international environmental group Greenpeace. This week, 36 years after the organization's maiden voyage, a Greenpeace ship reached Amchitka for the first time, and visited the site of the nuclear test. KIAL's Charles Homans reports from aboard the vessel Esperanza, anchored at Amchitka.
