It lies 33 km to the south of Neftchala and about 150 km to the SSE of Baku, in the Aran Region. HistoryThe island was formerly attached to the mainland by a narrow spit. It was named Kurkosa after the Kura River located further north by Fedor I. Soimonov, the pioneering explorer of the Caspian Sea during the time of Peter I the Great. Soimonov wrote the 'Pilot of the Caspian Sea', the first report on that until then little known body of water, that was published in 1720 by the Russian Academy of Sciences.[1] GeographyKura island is located 7.5 km off the Kura Spit, the nearest point, and 10 km to the east of the Kyzylagach Bay (Qızılağac Bay) shore.[2] Although located quite far away from it, it is considered the southernmost island of the Baku Archipelago.[3] The area of Kura Island is 43 km². Its length is 11.8 km and its maximum width 5.2 km.[4] The island is low, with mudhills, and stretches in a NE to SW direction. There is a lighthouse on Kura that was built in 1911 and abandoned in 1966.[5] Kura StoneKura Rock or Kura Stone (Kurinskiy Kamen), {{lang-az|Kür daşı}}, is a small islet with a maximum length of 0.18 km. It is located 13 km to the east of Kura Island's NE end at {{coord|39|00|54|N|49|20|01|E|}}. See also
