Agattu

Other inhabitants include rock sandpiper, red-necked phalarope, grey-crowned rosy finch and snow bunting.

[4] The elimination of the foxes on the island also made it possible for conservationists to reintroduce the Evermann's rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta evermanni).

These rocks were clearly deposited in water and are composed chiefly of amorphous silica and fine detritus derived from a volcanic terrain.

[6] Archeological excavations have discovered evidence and remains of Aleuts living on Agattu Island as early as 760 BCE.

[7] Based on the number of simultaneously inhabited archeological sites on the island, experts have estimated that the pre-contact population may have reached 500-1000 individuals.
