what was missed was that the Aleutian islands extend into the Eastern, not western, hemisphere, as is stated.

follow the longitude line from the north pole. a line furthest to the west cuts Alaska's islands and not Hawaii. sorry

threeefaze, Hawaii is further west than California, but not as far west as Alaska. The picture gives it away!

Alaska is the farthest North, East and West state in the US, trust me cause I'm from Alaska.

I guess by the earth being round, it would allow you to reach Alaska if you go west.

CyanRambler2570, It is a paradox. At that latitude, the nautical mile around the circle of the Earth are much smaller than the nautical distance along the latitude that passes through Hawaii.
