You want to visit kiska or attu island in the aleutians?
Re: Kiska. The only method of travel to Kiska is by charter boat. The entire island is part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, so it's probably best to let them know of your plans first. Most of the WWII sites are located on the east side near Kiska Harbour. Landing elsewhere can be hazardous and is not recommended. Because many people have visited, much of the island has been looted - removal of artifacts is strictly prohibited, and all artifacts have been catalogued. If you choose to visit, PLEASE practice a "Zero Footprint" approach such that you leave no trace of your visit.

When did the Aleutian Island campaign begin?
The Aleutian Islands were invaded by the Japanese during the battle of Midway. Kiska was invaded on June 6, 1942, and Attu was invaded the next day. While initially intended as a diversion meant to draw out America's carriers so they could be ambushed by Japan's main carrier group north of Midway, they maintained their presence following the battle. The US efforts to retake the islands were as follows; August 1942: US established an air base at Adak May 11, 1943: Start of operation to retake Attu August 7, 1943: Start of operation to retake Kiska August 7th also signalled the end of the Aleution Island campaign as it was discovered upon landing that the Japanese had withdrawn all of their forces from Kiska on July 28th.

What line of longitude does the Alaska boundary lie?
Most of Alaska, but not all, is on the North America side of the 180th meridian. Only the last few hundred miles of the Aleutian Islands chain are on the other side. The major islands of Amchitka, Kiska, Agattu, and Attu ... plus many smaller ones ... are on the other side. The chain finally ends at about 172 degrees east longitude, roughly 315 miles west of the 180th Meridian.
Which of the Aleutian Islands were invaded?
I believe that would be Attu and Kiska.
