YouTuber Chris Luckhardt flew to Adak Island – a remote Alaskan island in the north Pacific Ocean – to explore its abandoned US military base. Surprisingly, the base included a McDonald’s that opened in July 1986. But the restaurant was closed in 1994 as the Navy gradually decommissioned the base. Its original menu sign and other aspects of the building remain frozen in time.

More than 6000 people lived on the base at its peak in the 1980s. However, the base closed in March 1997, and most buildings were abandoned. Now, Adak Island has only 33 permanent residents.
