Wyspa Baranowa (ang. Baranof Island), niekiedy nazywana również Sitka (ang. Sitka Island) – wyspa w północnej części Archipelagu Aleksandra, w stanie Alaska. Została tak nazwana w 1805 przez kapitana marynarki Imperium Rosyjskiego J. Lisianskiego na cześć Aleksandra Baranowa. W języku plemienia Tlingit nazwa wyspy brzmi Sheet’-ká X'áat'l (często wymawiana po prostu Shee). Wyspa ma 4162 km² powierzchni, rozciąga się na długości 180 km i odpowiednio - 48 km szerokości i jest dziesiątą co do wielkości wyspą Stanów Zjednoczonych. Na wyspie znajduje się najwyższa góra Archipelagu Aleksandra. Największym osiedlem na niej jest miasto Sitka.

West of British Columbia, Canada, and south of the Yukon Territory, the southeastern coastline of Alaska trails off into the islands of the Alexander Archipelago. The area is rugged and contains many long, U-shaped, glaciated valleys, many of which terminate at tidewater. The Alexander Archipelago is home to Glacier Bay National Park. The large bay that has two forks on its northern end is Glacier Bay itself. The eastern fork is Muir inlet, into which runs the Muir glacier, named for the famous Scottish-born naturalist John Muir. Glacier Bay opens up into the Icy Strait. The large, solid white area to the west is Brady Icefield, which terminates at the southern end in Brady's Glacier.
The flag of Navassa Island is simply the United States flag. It does not have a "local" flag or "unofficial" flag; it is an uninhabited island. The version with a profile view was based on Flags of the World and as a fictional design has no status warranting a place on any Wiki. It was made up by a random person with no connection to the island, it has never flown on the island, and it has never received any sort of recognition or validation by any authority. The person quoted on that page has no authority to bestow a flag, "unofficial" or otherwise, on the island.
