What's Hidden on Alaska's Forbidden Island?

Ready to be seen? Check that appointment off your to-do list with Zocdoc ✅: https://zocdoc.com/acrosstheglobe #sponsored Attu Island is the westernmost point of Alaska, and of the entire United States, famous for its remoteness and brutal weather. While it’s officially American soil, Attu sits so far west that it’s actually in the Eastern Hemisphere, closer to Russia than to most of Alaska, with the International Date Line bending around it just to keep it on the same calendar day. It was the site of the only land battle of World War II fought on American soil, where almost 3,000 soldiers died, while the Native people who had lived there for thousands of years were taken to a prison camp in Japan and never allowed to return. Today it's completely uninhabited.
