Glory of Russia Cape ({{lang-ru|Слава России}}, {{lang|ru-Latn|Slava Rossii}}) is the northernmost point of St. Matthew Island in the Bering Sea in the US state of Alaska.[1] The cape is hilly, with the peak {{Convert|1.3|mi}} south of the cape being {{Convert|1475|ft}} high,[2] while at its coastline the cape is 5 m above mean sea level.

The nearest town is Nash Harbor in Bethel Census Area, about {{Convert|414|mi}} away. The St. Paul Island Airport is the nearest airport and heliport to the cape, about {{Convert|234|mi}} away.[3]

All of St. Matthew Island lies under the management control of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, an area of significant phytogeographic interest for its diverse lichens.[4] The island has a length of {{Convert|22|mi}} and a width of {{Convert|2|-|3|mi}} diverging towards the north, and lies {{Convert|220|mi}} west of the mainland of Alaska. It is part of a bird sanctuary, which was established in February 1909 and is known as the Bering Sea Reservation. The hills of the isolated island rise to about {{Convert|1800|ft}} height and are covered with moss and lichen.[5] Little auks (Alle alle), birds usually found in the North Atlantic, were sighted in auklet colonies near the Glory of Russia Cape from 12 to 24 June 1983.[6]

The cape was named by Russian polar explorer and hydrographer Gavril Sarychev in honor of the ship Glory of Russia.[7] The cape, a promontory, was probably also named “M[ys] Slavy (Slava) Rossii” meaning “Cape Glory of Russia” by the Russian Hydrographic Department (Chart 1427) in 1849 for Lt. Sarichev’s ship, which was moored here on 14 July 1791.[8]

The 8,105-ton Greek ship Milos Reefer, {{Convert|485|ft}} in length, was wrecked at Glory of Russia Cape on 15 November 1989.[9]
