Rootok Island

Rootok Island is the smallest member of the Krenitzin Islands, a subgroup of the Fox [Islands (Alaska)|Fox Islands] in the eastern Aleutian Islands in Alaska, United States. The island's common spelling of Rooktok appears to have arisen from Aektok. Deviations in compass readings of up to 3 degrees from normal have been observed off the island's north-western side. The island was set aside to house a lighthouse on January 4, 1901; though no navigation aids were ever constructed. The island is uninhabited and it is long and wide.
