Shkot Island

Shkot Island (Russian: Остров Шкота lit.

Isle of Shkot) is an island in the Eugénie Archipelago within the Peter the Great Gulf of the Sea of Japan.

The uninhabited island is one of the five large islands in the archipelago, with an area of 2.6 square kilometres (1.0 square mile) and its highest point at 146 metres (479 feet) above sea level.

The island was named after Nikolay Shkot, the commander of the Russian Imperial Navy corvette Amerika who led one of the earliest hydrographic expeditions in the Primorsky Krai and Sakhalin regions of the Russian Far East in 1863, and was a co-founder of Vladivostok.
