Fauna


In the summer, a large colony of spectacled guillemot and a small nesting colony of thick-billed murre reside on the island.[1]


History


American whaleships targeting bowhead whales cruised off Utichy from the 1850s to the 1880s.[2][3] They called it Little Stinker Island.[4] Along with Ptichy, it was considered one of the Stinker Islands.[5][6][7]

On August 1, 1981, an Aeroflot Ilyushin Il-14M, flying in poor visibility, crashed into the southwest side of Utichy, killing all 11 people on board.[8]
