Aleutian Islands
Arc toward Russia
The Aleutian Islands are a chain of volcanic islands extending westward from the Alaska Peninsula toward Russia, separating the Bering Sea from the Pacific Ocean.
The archipelago stretches over a thousand miles and includes more than three hundred islands.
The Aleutians are known for harsh weather, seismic activity, and strategic military significance during World War II.
