Routan Islands, Arctic island in Pevek district, Russia
Bolshoy Routan Island extends 9.5 kilometers in length and 4.5 kilometers in width, reaching an elevation of 76 meters above the East Siberian Sea.
The island remained under Russian governance throughout its documented history, from the Imperial period through the Soviet era to the present Russian Federation.
The indigenous Chukchi people refer to the island group as Rovtįn iłirti, reflecting the long-standing presence of native communities in the region.
The island contains an Arctic research station, accessible only through specialized transportation due to its position 4.7 kilometers from the Pevek Peninsula.
The island forms a natural barrier in the Chaunskaya Bay, creating a protected waterway that influences regional maritime navigation patterns.
