For the next three days, me and my boys are going to be traveling to this remote island in the Gulf of Alaska to explore abandoned military bases, catch and cook feral rabbits, surf fish from the beach, explore World War II shipwrecks, and tag along with biologists studying birds.

在接下來的三天裡，我和我的孩子們將前往阿拉斯加灣的這個偏遠小島，探索廢棄的軍事基地，捕捉並烹飪野兔，在海灘上衝浪釣魚，探索二戰時期的沉船，並跟隨生物學家研究鳥類。

?Wish that I could stay, wish for this moment to never go away? ?But it's all in my mind, and though I know that there is nothing to find? ?You're a beautiful sight in the summer night? ?And you can't put up a fight in the misty light?

但願我能留下，但願這一刻永不消失"但這一切都在我的腦海裡，雖然我知道沒有什麼可以找到"你是夏夜裡一道美麗的風景* And you can't put up a fight in the misty light?

Welcome to Middleton Island!

Only a few people ever come to Middleton Island.

只有少數人來過米德爾頓島。

The FAA has a weather station here, so once a month a crew comes to do maintenance.

美國聯邦航空局在這裡有一個氣象站，所以每個月都會有工作人員來這裡進行維護。

And there's a team of biologists studying birds out here.

還有一隊生物學家在這裡研究鳥類。

And those two ladies on the four-wheeler are biologists, and they offered to give us a tour of their research facility.

那兩位騎四輪車的女士是生物學家，她們主動提出帶我們參觀她們的研究設施。

See some rabbit poo?

看到兔子便便了嗎？

Rumor has it this island is infested with feral rabbits, so Tommy brought a little air rifle.

據說這個島上有很多野兔，所以湯米帶了一把小氣槍。

Oh, look at this.

So, this right here is part of the FAA facility here on Middleton Island.

It's mostly a weather station, and pretty much all the commercial flights that go from Asia and North America come up through the Gulf of Alaska.

它主要是一個氣象站，幾乎所有從亞洲和北美飛來的商業班機都會經過阿拉斯加灣。

So, this weather station keeps an eye on all the weather within a 250-mile radius.
