Semisoposhnoi in Russian language means "having seven (volcanic) hills".-- CopperKettle 13:33, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Could you break down the Etymology on that? :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dgfduck ( talk • contribs) 20:04, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
According to the Eastern Hemisphere article, the Eastern Hemisphere is bounded by the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line, not the 180th Meridian; this would mean Semisoposhnoi is not in the Eastern Hemisphere, and is therefore not a candidate for the most easterly point in North America. I am removing the reference. Vulcan's Forge ( talk) 01:57, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
"Greenland is not politically a part of North America." What does this even mean? The Greenland article points out that it is a part of the NA continent... and I do see the "political" distinction, but what does that mean? Why is that relevant to discussing the extreme points of the continent? I am going to remove this sentence. Someone will probably revert it, so please explain why it belongs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.191.196.228 ( talk) 03:56, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
Politically is irrelevant here, geographic is. North America is not a political unit, but a geographic one, so yes, what does this even mean? You would have to ask something like what is the easternmost place administered by a country with a capital in Europe include places in Greenland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Loki-dog ( talk • contribs) 01:47, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
West and east are rotational directions on the earth. Therefore Alaska lies on the eastern side of Bering straits and Russia on its western side. It is likely that this island is, indeed near the westernmost point of North America.

Attu Island is actually further West, which makes Semisopochnoi island only the Easernmost, not both Eastern- and Westernmost.
