Good map here. I'll try to post an image below. Kiska is island #7, Shemya is #5.

FWIW, Kiska was one of two Aleutian Islands occupied by Japanese troops as a diversion during the Battle of Midway in June 1942. The Americans didn't take the bait. They returned in May 1943 to recapture Attu (#1) in a bloody battle. The Japanese abandoned Kiska about a month after that battle concluded. We ended up losing a handful of men from friendly fire when we invaded it again, not knowing the Japanese had left.

Wanna see Earthquakes around the whole world, all at once?

Go here http://www.wolton.net/quake.html

Download the program (very short download, and it’s free)

Run the program.

EARTHQUAKE 3D, with tons of controls, spin the planet around, zoom in/out, change the features shown. See patterns in the Earthquakes you can’t see on any other graphic display of earthquakes.

IT’S AWESOME.

This quake isn’t showing yet on Earthquake 3D either.
