Best Answer

The Near Islands, the westernmost of the Aleutians, are closer to Asia than to the North American mainland. However, the closest geographical point is Little Diomede, an island in the Bering Strait. It is only 2.4 miles from Big Diomede island, which is considered Asia as part of Russia.
