Medny Island (from wikipedia) (also spelled Mednyy, Russian: о́стров Ме́дный, sometimes called Copper Island in English), is the second largest island (after Bering Island) in the Komandorski Islands east of Russia. (The other islands are much smaller.)
The island was uninhabited until the early 20th century, when Aleuts came from Attu Island in the Aleutian Islands to Medny Island.
The island is 56 km long and between 5 and 7 km wide. The area is 186 km². The maximum elevation reaches 640 m. Average annual temperature is +2.8 °C. About 100 meters off the northwestern end of the islands are the Beaver Stones (Бобровые камни in Russian), two islets connected by an isthmus, with a combined length of 1 km.
