Idlidlya Island (Ostrov Idlidlya) is a small island in the Chukchi Sea. It is close to the coast, being only 2 km (1.2 mi) away from the shores of the Chukotka Peninsula in the area of the coastal landspits enclosing Neskynpil'gyn Lagoon.
This island is only 1 km (0.62 mi) in length. There is a small Chukchi village called Neshkan on the coast close to the island.
The importance of this small island lies in the fact that many environmental observations, like monitoring of species, are taken from it.[1]
