Located in southeastern Alaska, USA, near the entrance to Rangel St. Elias National Park, McCarthy is an isolated historic town that sprang up in the early 1900s as a result of the mining of the nearby Kennecott Copper Mine, which housed thousands of miners, but today the abandoned mines and log cabins still bear the marks of its pioneering past. The town is not accessible by road, and visitors need to walk or take a ferry to get there, a unique mode of transportation that adds to its primitive charm. Surrounded by glaciers, snow-capped mountains and pristine forests, McCarthy is ideal for hiking, bear watching, glacier viewing and aurora borealis, attracting travelers with a passion for outdoor adventure. Though sparsely populated, the area retains a strong sense of community, with cafes, lodges and museums telling the story of the wilderness, making it an excellent gateway to experience the beauty of Alaska's wilderness.

Ijevan is known for its manufacturing industry, especially furniture and carpets, and the unique craftsmanship of the "Ijevan carpet" is an important cultural symbol of the region. In addition, thanks to its location and natural beauty, tourism is on the rise, attracting tourists to experience mountain hiking and explore traditional Armenian culture.
