Cape Patience (Russian: Полуостров Терпения, Poluostrov Terpeniya) is a peninsula protruding 65km (40miles) km of east-central Sakhalin Island into the Sea of Okhotsk. It forms the eastern boundary of the Gulf of Patience. The width of the peninsula varies from less than 1km (01miles), at the Lodochniy Isthmus, to 30km (20miles) at its widest point. It reaches a maximum elevation of 350m (1,150feet). The cape is the southernmost extension (on land) of the East Sakhalin Mountains, a north-south range that runs along the eastern side of Sakhalin Island.[1]
There is a small lighthouse at the end of the cape, which was built in 1953.[2]
