Kepulauan Tikus

Peta Kepulauan Tikus yang menunjukkan lokasi pulau-pulau besar.

Kepulauan Tikus (Aleut: Qax̂um tanangis[1]) adalah kepulauan vulkanik di Kepulauan Aleut di Alaska barat daya. Kepulauan ini terletak di antara Pulau Buldir dengan Pulau Near di barat dan Selat Amchitka dengan Kepulauan Andreanof di timur.

Dari barat ke timur, pulau-pulau besar di kepulauan ini adalah Kiska, Kiska Kecil, Segula, Hawadax atau Kryssei, Khvostof, Davidof, Sitkin Kecil, Amchitka, dan Semisopochnoi. Luas daratan di Kepulauan Tikus secara keseluruhan adalah 934.594 km2. Tidak ada satu pun pulau di kepulauan ini yang dihuni oleh manusia.

Nama "Kepulauan Tikus" merupakan terjemahan bahasa Indonesia dari nama yang diberikan oleh Kapten Fyodor Petrovich Litke pada tahun 1827 saat ia mengunjungi Kepulauan Aleut. Alasannya adalah karena tikus telah menguasai Pulau Tikus (Hawadax) semenjak tahun 1780.[2] Pada tahun 2009, tikus telah berhasil dimusnahkan dari Pulau Hawadax.[3]

Kepulauan Tikus sangan rentan diguncang gempa bumi karena terletak di batas lempeng tektonik Pasifik dan Amerika Utara. Pada tahun 1965, terjadi gempa bumi besar dengan skala 8,7 di kepulauan ini.
