Rovny Island

Rovnyy Island or Arka Island is an island in Shelikhov Bay, Sea of Okhotsk.

Rovnyy Island is 2.2 km long and 1.4 km wide. It is located off the eastern coast of Penzhina Bay, separated from the continental shore by a 6.8 km wide sound. Administratively it belongs to the Kamchatka Krai.

American whaleships cruised for bowhead whales off the island from 1860 to 1889. They called it Umbrella Island.
