Reineke island


Small Reineke island is located in south-west of the Sea of Okhotsk between Shantarsky island and the Sakhalin Island, 5 km to the north of the continent. Administratively it is part of the Nikolaev District of Khabarovsk Territory.
The namesake bay currently covered with ice is located several kilometers to the south of the Reineke island. Both the island and the bay are named after the famous Russian hydrographer, Vice-Admiral Michail Reineke, Director of the Hydrographic Department.
Once more Sveta has sent a pretty picture card portraying the Russian Far-East Maritime Zone or Primorsky Krai.
