Shikotan
Shikotan, also known as Shpanberg, is one of the bigger islands of the Kuril Islands, which are part of the Russian Federation. It is one of the four southernmost islands over which Japan maintains a claim. It is one of the islands which the Soviet Union agreed in 1956 to transfer to Japan in the event of a peace treaty between the two countries. The name of Shikotan derives from the Ainu language and means "the village proper" or "real town." The total land area of Shikotan is 225 km². The island is hilly, averaging 300 metres in elevation. The shores of the island are very indented and covered with oceanic meadows. The highest altitude is 412 m. The island is formed by the volcanic rock and sandstone of the Upper Cretaceous and Cenozoic periods. There are two extinct volcanoes on Shikotan: Mount Tomari and Mount Notoro. Shikotan's vegetation consists mostly of Sakhalin fir, larch, deciduous trees, bamboo underbrush and juniper brushwood. There are two settlements: Malokurilskoye and Krabozavodskoye. The primary economic activities are fisheries and fishing, with the principal marine products being cod, crab and kelp.
