Belichy Island (Russian: Беличий остров, Belichy Ostrov, literally: "Squirrel Island") is a narrow island in the northwestern Sea of Okhotsk, one of the Shantar Islands.
The island is 20.3 km in length, with a maximum width of about 5 km. It is covered in larch forests.
Belichy Island is separated from Bolshoy Shantar Island to the north by Proliv Severo-Vostochny, from Maly Shantar Island to the west by Proliv Opasny, and from the mainland to the south by Lindholm Strait. To its east lies Academy Bay.[1] [2] [3]
Belichy was frequented by American whaleships hunting bowhead whales between 1857 and 1889.[4]
