[:ja]セルゲイ・リャザンスキー宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影した千島列島（クリル諸島）の捨子古丹島です。
北東から南西に向けて長さ約25km、最大幅9km、最小幅900mの、瓢箪のような形をした火山島です。古来より、本島の高さ200m程の崖の上には千島アイヌが居住しており、現在はその痕跡が残っています。また、ラッコが多く生息し、幌筵島や占守島に住んでいたアイヌの人々が来島して、これを捕らえていたようです。
地上の様子はこちらです。

[Earthview Wonders] No.987: Shiashkotan Island🇷🇺
Astronaut Sergey Ryazansky captured from ISS Shiashkotan Island, Russia.
Shiashkotan (Russian: Шиашкотан) is an uninhabited volcanic island near the center of the Kuril Islands chain in the Sea of Okhotsk in the northwest Pacific Ocean, separated from Ekarma by the Ekarma Strait. Its name is derived from the Ainu language, from “Konbu village”. Shiashkotan is roughly dumbbell shaped, formed by two volcanic islands joined together by a narrow landspit. Shiashkotan was inhabited by the Ainu, who subsided off of hunting and fishing at the time of European contact.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
