Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Location map". Kagalaska Island (Template:Langx;[1] Template:Langx) is an island in the Andreanof Islands of the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.
The island is Template:Convert in length and Template:Convert wide. It is separated from Adak Island to the west by Kagalaska Strait (Aakayuudax̂ in Aleut) which is approximately Template:Convert wide at its narrowest point. Little Tanaga Island is located to the east, Template:Convert across Little Tanaga Strait.[2]
The island is covered in scrub brush and sand dunes, unlike other Alaskan islands that have hardscrabble coasts. It provides nesting grounds for sea birds and in the summer is a basking site for seals.
