Bolsheviks seized Wrangel Island, located near Alaska, from American settlers in 1924.
The United States has a claim on a remote island that has been in Moscow's hands for nearly a century and where Russia reportedly wants to stage war games, a former U.S. Arctic commissioner has toldWrangel Island is 270 miles northwest of Cape Lisburne, Alaska, in the Arctic Ocean in Russia's far east, between the Chukchi Sea and East Siberian Sea.
Thomas Emanuel Dans, who was a commissioner of the U.S. Arctic Research Commission in 2021, said that there has never been any formal acceptance of Russia's claim to the island, which Moscow considers part of the Chukotka Autonomous territory.
