Little Kiska Island information


The Kiska Map

Little Kiska Island is an island off east coast of the island of Kiska in the Rat Islands (part of the Aleutian Islands) in Alaska. It lies immediately east of Kiska Harbor and is approximately 6 kilometers long and 2 kilometers wide. The island has multiple hills, creeks, and ranges which were all mapped by the U.S. Navy for military purposes during WWII.[1]

One of the creeks on the island drew notoriety for being named "Nazi Creek".[2]
