Satellite image of Semisopochnoi Island in the western Aleutian Islands of Alaska
June 22, 2000 - Satellite view of Semisopochnoi Island, located in the western Aleutian Islands of Alaska. Situated on the far end of the Aleutians, Semisopochnoi Island is simultaneously the most easterly and westerly point of the United States of America. Roughly 1, 275 miles (2, 050 kilometers) west-southwest of Anchorage, Alaska, Semisopochnoi lies near the 180-degree line of longitude, in the Rat Islands group in the western Aleutian Islands. Colors are what you would expect: snow is white, bare ground is tan, water is blue, clouds are grey, and vegetation is green.
The seven hills of the island are volcanic peaks, each with a summit crater, including Cerberus, Sugarloaf Peak, Lakeshore Cone, Anvil Peak, Pochnoi, Ragged Top, and Three-quarter Cone. The high point of the island is Anvil Peak at 1, 221 meters, a double-peaked cone. The three-peaked Mount Cerberus volcano (774 meters high) grew up within the caldera as the volcanic hot spot rose up from the sea floor

EDITORS COMMENTS
This satellite image showcases the stunning beauty of Semisopochnoi Island, nestled in the western Aleutian Islands of Alaska. As one gazes at this print, they are transported to a remote and untouched corner of the world. Situated on the far end of the Aleutians, Semisopochnoi Island holds a unique distinction - it is simultaneously the most easterly and westerly point of the United States. The colors depicted in this image are as expected: pristine white snow blankets much of the island, while patches of tan bare ground peek through. The surrounding waters shimmer in various shades of blue, contrasting with grey clouds that hover above. Lush green vegetation dots parts of the landscape, adding vibrancy to an otherwise rugged terrain. What truly captures attention are the seven volcanic peaks that dominate Semisopochnoi Island's skyline. Each peak boasts its own summit crater, forming a dramatic silhouette against an expansive sky. Notable among them is Anvil Peak, standing tall at 1,221 meters with its distinctive double-peaked cone shape. Mount Cerberus also commands attention with its three distinct peaks rising from within a caldera formed by volcanic activity beneath the sea floor. This awe-inspiring print by Stocktrek Images invites viewers to marvel at nature's power and resilience as it shapes landscapes like Semisopochnoi Island into breathtaking works of art.
