Tyuleny Island (Russian: Тюлений) is an uninhabited island in the Caspian Sea. It is located 47 km (29 miles) east of the Dagestan coastline, in the Caspian Sea, near the entrance to the Kizlyar Gulf.[1]

Geography

There are many Caspian seals in Tyuleny, hence its name, which means "seal" in Russian. Since parts of the islands are marshy, there are also many birds.

This island belongs to the Dagestan Republic, a federal subject of the Russian Federation.
