Joe Miller is telling only half the story.

While they may have been "discovered" my Americans, Wrangel Island, Bennett Island, Jeannette Island and Henrietta Island have been under Russian/Soviet control since 1916:

From the Wrangel Island entry:

Post-Soviet era According to some US individuals, including the group State Department Watch, [33] eight Arctic islands currently controlled by Russia, including Wrangel Island, are claimed by the United States. However, according to the United States Department of State [34] no such claim exists. The USSR/USA Maritime Boundary Treaty, [35] which has yet to be approved by the Russian Duma, does not address the status of these islands nor the maritime boundaries associated with them.
