Poa Island

Poa Island (Saduuĝinax̂ [Bergsland, K "Aleut Dictionary" Fairbanks: Alaska Native Language Center, 1994] in Aleut) (54°07'38"N 165°29'58") is an island in the Fox Islands group of the eastern Aleutian Islands, Alaska. It is 0.7 miles long and is located 1 mile southeast of Akun Island. The island was named in 1888 by the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries for a genus of grasses. Captain Tebenkov (1852) called it "Ostrov Tumannyi," meaning "foggy island."
