Aleutian Islands
Some of the islands that are part of Alaska include Kodiak Island, Prince of Wales Island, Adak Island, and the Aleutian Islands. These islands contribute to the diverse geography and ecosystems found within the state.
Aleutian Islands are chain of volcanic islands that separate the Bering Sea (north) from the main portion of the Pacific Ocean (south) southwest of Alaska
Alaska; it is also the easternmost state, as the Aleutian Islands extend into the Eastern hemisphere.
The western-most of the Aleutian Islands, which are part of Alaska, extend past 180o.
Alaska is technically father west because its islands extend further west than Hawaii. Hawaii is further west if only the mainland of Alaska is being considered.
Alaska is farthest east and west is due to the fact that the Aleutian Islands cross the 180° meridian of longitude, placing some of the islands actually in the Eastern Hemisphere and thus degrees east of Greenwich (and the Prime Meridian).
Alaska is the westernmost state. The Aleutian Islands extend past 180˚W/E, which makes Alaska not only the westernmost state, but the easternmost as well, as these islands extend into the Eastern Hemisphere. See the related link below for more information about the Aleutian Islands.
The Aleutian Islands, including Attu and Kiska, which were once captured by the Japanese during World War II.They extend southwest into the North Pacific Ocean towards Russia, forming the southern border of the Bering Sea. The islands cross the International Date Line, and so may be considered both the westernmost and the easternmost parts of the United States.The islands are named after the Native Aleut tribe who created Alaska's name, Alyeska (AH-Ley-eh-ska)
The capital of Alaska (Juneau) is east of the capital of Hawaii (Honolulu), and much farther north.Although the Aleutian Islands of Alaska extend farther west than the Hawaiian Islands, Juneau is on the extreme southeast coast of Alaska, close to the border of British Columbia and the Yukon Teritory. Its longitude is about 134°W while Honolulu's is out at 157°W.yes
