Korovin Island (Tanĝanuk[1] in Aleut) is one of the Shumagin Islands in the Gulf of Alaska south of the Alaska Peninsula in the Aleutians East Borough of Alaska, United States. The island lies northeast of Popof Island and across the Unga Strait from the mainland peninsula. To its southeast are Andronica Island, and further southeast, Nagai Island. Korovin island has a land area of 67.85 km2 (26.197 sq mi) and is uninhabited by humans.
Korovin Island was named by the Russians, presumably after Ivan Korovin, an early Russian explorer who explored the Aleutian Islands in 1762. The word is from the Russian Koróva ("cow").[2]
The island has two summits. The western end is 1,816 feet (554 m) high, and the eastern end is a rocky cliff 1,200 feet (370 m) high. The middle portion consists of low land and marshes. The north end of the island is known as Scotland Point. Two miles southwestward of Scotland Point is Grosvold Bay, which may be used as an anchorage.[3]

L'île Korovin (Tanĝanuk en aléoute) est une des îles Shumagin, située au sud-ouest de l'Alaska (États-Unis). L'île est très proche de l'île Popof, et se situe au niveau du détroit de Unga, qui sépare les îles Shumagin de la péninsule d'Alaska. Au sud-est se trouvent les îles Andronica et Nagai. L'île est inhabitée et a une superficie de 68 km². Korovin a été nommée ainsi par les Russes, sans doute en l'honneur d'Ivan Korovin, un explorateur qui se rendit dans cette région en 1762. Le nom Korovin dérive du russe Korova signifiant "vache".[it] Isola Korovin
