History
Aleut name published as "M(ys) Yanalyun" or "Cape Yanalyun" by Captain Tebenkov (1852, map 26), Imperial Russian Navy (IRN). According to R. H. Geoghegan, this is possibly derived from the Aleut word "Yunalgakuk," meaning "it is cut through." This point was called "Bog Cape" by U.S. Bureau of Fisheries (USBF) in 1888. It was also called "Alexander" by U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS) in 1900.
