Attu, Alaska. The westernmost point of the USA is the western point of this Island, Point Wrangel. Because this is not the most populated area, it might say Anchorafe or some Russian Island on some of these pics, but "Attu" and "Wrangel" is just not in this database ... google it, "attu island" to find a lot more info. See also http://www.flickr.com/photos/downintheblue/ for more pics of Attu.

Marvellous picture.
Inuit language: Attu = Touch
Inuit (eskimos) people are telling about: When they are whaling, and when a Whale try to escape tunter; it TOUCH (ATTU) a point in an Island; therfor they named it ATTU. The same story tells in Greenland; there there is an island in Western Greenland With the same name.

Cool, great explanation!
I was once several places on the west coast of Greenland, but not on Attu Island there.

For some reason I can't seem to locate Sarah Pailin's home on that island. I know it's gotta be there somewhere!
