Aziak Island

Aziak Island (also called Azki, Azlak, Azik, and Azaik; Азиак) is a small island in the Andreanof Islands group in the Aleutian Islands of southwestern Alaska. The name "Aziak" is derived from the Aleut word ha-azax - "ten," and in many books and charts published before 1920, it was often used to refer to Sledge Island, located 930 mi to the northeast off the Seward Peninsula, or to a native settlement on that island. This practice apparently became rarer as the twentieth century progressed and today Aziak is used almost exclusively to refer the Andreanof-group island. Aziak Island is approximately 1.1 mi long and reaches a maximum elevation of 190 ft. Very little is known about the island and it is uninhabited.
