Cape Wrangell
Cape Wrangell is considered to be the Extreme [points of the United States|westernmost] point of Alaska and all of the United States by direction of travel, named after the Russian explorer and seaman Ferdinand von Wrangel. It is located on Attu Island, which is situated in the Near Islands. Following this definition of westernmost, an alternative westernmost point would be located on the tiny Peaked Island, only about in diameter, just off the coast of Attu to the west, but because both sit west of the 180th meridian, these two are at times viewed as the Extreme points of the [United States|easternmost] points of the United States.
