Idlidlya Island
Island Remote Arctic island in Chukotka, Russia
A remote island in Russia’s Chukotka region, located in the Bering Sea area; relevant mainly to researchers, local communities and specialized Arctic voyages.
Idlidlya Island is a small island in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia, located north of the Arctic Circle in the eastern Russian Far East. It is a remote coastal island with no widely documented tourist infrastructure.
The island is a lesser-known landmark and sees very little visitation; there are no established visitor facilities. Conditions are typical of Arctic coastal islands, with seasonal sea ice and a natural shoreline rather than developed beaches or harbors.
There is limited public historical information about construction or long-term habitation on the island. Administration and any recorded activity fall under regional Chukotka authorities rather than being a populated settlement.
Geographically it lies off the northern Pacific/Bering Sea coast of Chukotka in the Russian Far East, at high latitude above 66.5 degrees north. The nearest significant settlements and transport links are in the broader Chukotka region rather than on the island itself.
- Arctic location: Sits above the Arctic Circle and therefore experiences polar day in summer and polar night in winter.
