Horned puffins (Fratercula corniculata) float below a seabird cliff on Round Island, Alaska, where they nest. Taken from the water during an exploratory boat ride with Round Island Staff to investigate a whale carcass (not a normal part of visitor activities). One of the seven remote islands in the Bering Sea that make up the Walrus Islands State Game Sanctuary, Round Island—known as Qayassiq, or "place to go in a kayak", in Yup'ik—has been an important summer haulout for male Pacific walrus for thousands of years. Since the walrus sanctuary was established in 1960, protecting the islands' wildlife, a state-run summer visitor program on Round Island allows small groups of visitors to camp on the island and observe walrus under the careful management of Alaska Department of Fish and Game sanctuary staff, who conduct daily wildlife monitoring on the island every summer. Round Island also remains an important subsistence hunting site for nearby Alaska Native communities, who organize a subsistence hunt for walrus there every October. Archaeological evidence shows that the Yup'ik people and their ancestors have hunted walrus on the island for over 5,000 years.
