Akutan Island

Akutan Island () is an island in the Fox Islands group of the easterm Aleutian Islands in the U.S. state of Alaska. The island is approximately 30 km (18 mi) in length. It contains the Mount Akutan volcano, which had a major lava eruption in 1979.

Akutan is an Aleut name reported by P. K. Krenitzin and M. Levashev in 1768 and spelled Acootan by James Cook in 1785. This name may be from the Aleut word "hakuta" which, according to R. H. Geoghegan, means "I made a mistake."
