Alexander Archipelago
The Alexander Archipelago is a group of more than one thousand islands in southeast Alaska, and although they are part of the United States politically, they are geographically closer to British Columbia. The archipelago was named by the US Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1867, in honour of Russian Tsar Alexander II .1
