East or west?
I find this line very misleading - or just confused-sounding:

"Attu Station is so far east that it's only 55 miles away from the border of Russia."

Now I understand that Attu Station is considered very far "east" in an absolute sense due to it being in the Eastern hemisphere, almost at the 180th meridian. But surely when we're talking about how close a US location is to Russia, the farther west, relative to the rest of the country, the closer? And just because you pass into "the East" on your way to Attu, doesn't mean you're no longer moving west. Of the parts of Alaska west of the 180th, the westernmost is the closest to Russia - not the easternmost. Ethanbb (talk) 03:41, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
