Karaginsky Island

Description

Karaginsky Island or Karaginskiy Island (Russian: Карагинский остров) is an island in the Karaginsky Gulf of the Bering Sea. The 40 km (25 mi)-wide strait between the Kamchatka Peninsula and this island is called Litke Strait. Karaginsky Island is a Ramsar site.

Even though the island is uninhabited, the Karagin Koryaks have traditionally lived in Karaginskiy Island. Migrant reindeer herders still live in temporary shelters on the island.
The island is 101 km (63 mi) long and up to 27 km (17 mi) wide, with an area of 2,404 km2 (928 sq mi). The highest peak of the island is 912 m (2,992 ft). Karaginsky Island is covered with tundra vegetation and cedar underwood. In the summer, there are many flowers.
45 km (28 mi) north of Karaginsky Island's northern tip lies the small and narrow Verkhoturov Island (Ostrov Verkhoturova). It is 3.5 km (2.2 mi) long and has an average width of 0.5 km (0.31 mi).
