St Lawrence Island

Largest island in the Bering Sea, in west-central Alaska, 230 km/140 mi southwest of Nome; length about 148 km/92 mi; width 13–37 km/8–23 mi. The highest point of this volcanic, tundra-covered island is Atuk Mountain (631 m/2,070 ft). It is inhabited mainly by Inuit, with settlements at Gambell (population (2000) 649) and Savoonga (population (2000) 643) on the north coast.

The International Dateline passes 56 km/35 mi to the west, and the tip of Siberia's Chukchi Peninsula lies 80 km/50 mi northwest.

The Danish explorer Vitus Bering encountered and named the island on St Lawrence Day in 1728. Extensive archaeological studies of Inuit culture have been conducted here.
