Moneron Island, Marine natural park in Sakhalin Oblast, Russia.
Located 41 nautical miles from Nevelsk port, Moneron Island extends 7.2 kilometers in length and 5.5 kilometers in width in the Sea of Japan.
French navigator La Perouse named the island after Paul Mérault Monneron during his expedition, while Russian hydrographers created the first accurate map in 1867.
The Ainu people, who originally inhabited the island, called it Todomoshiri before it came under the control of the Matsumae clan in the 1700s.
Visitors can reach the island by taking a morning bus from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk to Nevelsk port, followed by a boat journey to the destination.
The waters around Moneron Island contain the only population of galiotis gastropod shellfish found within Russian territories.
