Interestingly, Newfoundland is even closer to Africa than Maine, which is nearly tied with Cape Cod MA.

Alaska's Attu Island is several degrees longitude on the "other" side of the 180 degree meridian.

@paden-cash Alaska's most remote islands are on the Asian side of the 180th meridian, so "East" longitude.
