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.
