Fox Islands

The Fox Islands are a group of islands, in the eastern Aleutian Islands off the southwest tip of Alaska. Of the Aleutians, the Fox Islands are the closest to mainland North America. The Andreanof Islands group is west of the Fox Islands.

Location of Unalaska, Alaska

Inhabited by Aleuts for centuries, the islands, along with the rest of the Aleutians, were first visited by Europeans in 1741, when a Danish navigator employed by the Russian navy, Vitus Bering, who was searching for new sources of fur for Russian fur trappers to exploit.

Foggy almost all year round, the islands are difficult to navigate due to constantly adverse weather and numerous reefs.

The larger Fox Islands, are, from west to east, Amuchta, Unaska, Uluga, Umnak, Amaknak, Unalaska, Akutan, Akun, Unimak and Sannak.

Fox Islands is the English translation of the name given to the islands in the 1700s by Russian explorers and fur traders.
