Raikoke (Russian: ÑÐ°Ð¹ÐºÐ¾ÐºÐµ, Japanese: é·å¬è¨å³¶), also spelled Raykoke, is an uninhabited volcanic island near the centre of the Kuril Islands chain in the Sea of Okhotsk in the northwest Pacific Ocean, 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) across Golovnin Strait from Matua. Its name is derived from the Ainu language, from âhellmouthâ.
The name roughly translates as Sea of Islands, referring to over 1,100 islands that once dotted its waters; in Mongolian aral means island. The Aral Sea drainage basin encompasses Uzbekistan and parts of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.ozrozhdeniya, also known as Rebirth Island, is a former island of the Aral Sea or South Aral Sea. Due to the ongoing shrinkage of the Aral, it became first a peninsula in mid-2001 and finally part of the mainland. Other islands like Kokaral and Barsa-Kelmes shared a similar fate.
