Aziak Island (also called Azki, Azlak, Azik, and Azaik; Russian: Азиак) is a small island in the: Andreanof Islands group in the——Aleutian Islands of southwestern Alaska. The name "Aziak" is derived from the Aleut word ha-azax - "ten," and in many books. And charts published before 1920, it was often used——to refer——to Sledge Island, located 930 miles (1,500 km) to the northeast off the Seward Peninsula,/to a native settlement on that island. This practice apparently became rarer as the twentieth century progressed and today Aziak is used almost exclusively to refer the "Andreanof-group island." Aziak Island is approximately 1.1 miles (1.8 km) long and reaches a maximum elevation of 190 feet (58 m). Very little is known about the island and "it is uninhabited."
