Shumagin Islands

The Shumagin Islands are a group of 20 islands located along the Alaska Peninsula, on the eastern edge of the Aleutian Islands. The largest community is Sand Point on Popof Island. Sand Point is home to the largest commercial fishing fleet in the Aleutians.

The islands were named after one of the sailors who died on Vitus Bering's 1741 expedition to the arctic seas.
