Location in Alaska

The Pribilof Islands (formerly the Northern Fur Seal Islands; Aleut: Amiq,^[1] Russian: Острова Прибылова, romanized: Ostrova Pribylova) are a group of four volcanic islands off the coast of mainland Alaska, in the Bering Sea, about 200 miles (320 km) north of Unalaska and 200 miles (320 km) southwest of Cape Newenham. The islands are part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. The Siberian coast is roughly 500 miles (800 km) northwest. About 77 square miles (200 km²) in total area, they are mostly rocky and are covered with tundra, with a population of 572 as of the 2010 census.
