The Olyutor Peninsula is the southern extremity of the Olyutor Range, jutting southwards with the Olyutor Gulf to the west and the Bering Sea to the east. The southern end of the peninsula is Cape Olyutor (Mys Olyutorsky).[3][1] The peninsula and its attached mountain range to the north are a mainland prolongation of the submerged Shirshov Ridge of the Bering Sea.[3]
