Middleton Island is an island in the U.S. state of Alaska, located in the Pacific Ocean approximately 80 miles (130 km) southwest of Cordova.[1] Most of the acreage on the island is owned by Chugach Alaska Corporation, a for-profit corporation. The island is also home of the unattended 200-acre (81 ha) Middleton Island Airport and NEXRAD weather radar (FAA), and the privately owned 182-acre (74 ha) Middleton Island Marine Biological Station with researchers resident year-round.[2][3][4][5]
A World War II-era American transport ship beached on the island in 1942 where the wreck is still intact. The island was briefly home to Middleton Island Air Force Station, an early warning radar station, from 1958 until the station's closure in 1963.[6][7] During the 1964 Alaska earthquake the island rose an additional 12 feet (3.7 m) above sea level expanding its acreage by about 45%.[8]
