Summary

Description Aleutian Islands from space A photograph of Atka Island, Amlia Island, and other parts of the Aleutian chain, Alaska. Taken on the STS-56 shuttle mission, in April 1993. Image number: STS056-071-031 The oval, snow-covered northern peninsula of Atka Island, a cluster of severely eroded stratovolcanoes and caldera, is part of the Aleutian chain known as the Central Aleutian Islands. Korovin Volcano, near the northern edge of the island, has the highest elevation on the island [5030 feet (1533 meters)] and the most eruptive activity. Elongated, east-west-oriented Amlia Island to the east rises only 2100 feet (640 meters) at its highest elevation.
