Uliaga Island is the northernmost member of the Islands of the Four Mountains group in the Aleutian Islands of southwestern Alaska. The island's name is probably derived from the Aleut place name ulaĝa, which is itself derived from ulaẍ - "bearberry." The triangular shaped island measures about 2.4 miles (3.9 km) across and consists of a single stratovolcano cone that reaches a height of 2,913 feet (888 m). The island has an area of 3.44 square miles (8.9 km2). No eruptions have been recorded in historical times, though it is thought to have been active at some time during the Holocene Epoch.
