Administratively this island belongs to the Khabarovsk Krai of the Russian Federation.
This island is part of the "Kondyor-Feklistov metallogenic belt" (KD) owing to the presence of placers [4] which include minerals like "blacksand platinum".[5] The "Kondyor-Feklistov metallogenic belt" is one of the major metallogenic belts of Northeast Asia. It is assumed that it formed by an oblique subduction of the oceanic crust of the Mongol-Okhotsk paleoocean under the southern margin of the Siberian continent.
History
Between 1852 and 1889, American whaleships cruised for bowhead whales off Feklistova Island.[6][7] They also anchored in Lebyazhya Bay on the south side of the island to stow down[8] or boil oil,[9] flense whales,[10] and obtain wood and water[11] or shelter from storms.[12] They referred to the anchorage itself as Feklistova Harbor.[13] As many as forty-two ships could be anchored in Lebyazhya Bay at one time.[14]
