Yttygran Island in the Bering Sea |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Mountainous Yttygran Island lies off the coast of Russia's Chukotskiy Peninsula in the Bering Sea. The sea is bordered on the south by the arc of the Aleutian Islands, on the west by Alaska, and to the east by the Chukotskiy Peninsula. Waters flowing from the Pacific Ocean make the Bering Sea a nutrient-rich sea that supports the growth of two crops of phytoplankton per year. During summer whales come to feed on these algal blooms. | ||||||
