With towns like Talkeetna, Wasilla, and Hoonah, Alaska is known for its places with unique names. Which of the following is NOT the name of a real town in Alaska?

Answer Igloovil, Alaska

Yes, these are all names of towns in our 49th state (except Igloovil). Arguably the most interesting is Unalaska, which is in the Aleutian Islands. The name is actually an Anglicized version of the Aleut name Ounalashka, meaning "Near the Peninsula”. It's also sometimes known as Dutch Harbor.
