Commander Islands, group of four islands in Russia, lying east of the peninsula of Kamchatka in the Bering Sea. They are administered as part of the Kamchatka Oblast. Bering Island (1,593 sq km/615 sq mi) is the largest of the islands; the others are Mednyy (466 sq km/180 sq mi) and two small uninhabited islands (totalling 163 sq km/63 sq mi). These islands and the American Pribilof Islands are the sole remaining breeding grounds of the fur seal in the Bering Sea. Although the climate is comparatively mild, they are inhabited by only a few Aleuts, Russians, and others.
