Tonight I was doing a puzzle book and came across the clue "Aleutian Isle." All I knew about the possible answer was that it was four letters long and had two syllables. All I knew about the Aleutian Islands is that they are by Alaska. So of course I went to wikipedia to find out more. Here are some interesting facts about the Aleutian Islands:
-The chain includes 14 volcanic islands and 55 smaller islands
-The islands extend about 1200 miles west from the Alaskan peninsula
-The islands have 57 volcanoes total
-The largest islands are Attu (which is the furthest from the mainland), Unalaska, Umnak and Akun.

The answer to the question in the puzzle book was Attu.
What I learned: I learned about the Aleutian Islands.
Helped me on my homework!
