Administratively Glinyanyy Island belongs to the Magadan Oblast of the Russian Federation.

History

American whaleships hunting bowhead whales frequented the waters off the island from 1862 to 1905.[2][3] They called it Ell Island,[4] and used the bay to the east of the island as an anchorage, which they called Ell Harbor,[5] short for Othello Harbor,[6] named after a ship that utilized the harbor in the early 1860s.[7][8][9][10] They anchored here to send whaleboats to the head of Gizhigin Bay to cruise for whales[11][12] and as a shelter from southwest winds,[13][14] to obtain wood, water, and stone for ballast,[15] to smoke ship to kill rats,[16] and to trade rum with the natives for reindeer.[17] They also went ashore to gather berries[18] and shoot ducks.[19]
