GeographyThe island lies towards the eastern end of the group. It is 4.2 km (2.6 mi) in length, with a maximum width of 2.6 km (1.6 mi). It is quite high, rising abruptly to a height of 633 m (2,076 ft). Kusova Island is separated from Bolshoy Shantar Island to the northwest by a 14 km (8.7 mi) wide sound.
