Description: off Cape Kalekta on NE coast of Unalaska I., Aleutian Islands.
History: Descriptive name used locally because of the resemblance  of the rock to a Russian priest. Captain Lutke (1836, p. 281), Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), says: The broken-down cliffs and isolated rocks sometimes take the most fantastic forms; as, for example, the one just in front of Cape Kalekta exactly resembles an old man having his head inclined and his arms crossed on his breast.
City of Nowthen (Civil), Anoka County, Minnesota (45.3420988, -93.4495052)
History: Effective July 2008, the Township of Burns was completely incorporated into the City of Nowthen. During the 1890s, community leader James Hare created a list of possible names and wrote, "Nowthen, one of these ought to do." Historians say the post office came to be known as Nowthen.
