Description

On central Saint Paul Island in Pribilof Islands.

History

Local name reported by Elliott (1881, Saint Paul notes) as "Boga Slov" or "word of God." The name has an indefinite application to the place, but is derived perhaps due to the fact that: "The pious Russians, immediately after landing at Zapadnie in 1787, ascended the hill and erected a huge cross thereon."
