Islands in the Kuril Island chain

Chyornye Bratya is a pair of uninhabited volcanic islands between Simushir and Urup in the Kuril Islands chain in the Sea of Okhotsk in the northwest Pacific Ocean. The larger (northern) of the two is Chirpoy, and the smaller (southern) is Brat Chirpoyev. The origin of the names is uncertain: the original Ainu language name of the island was Repunmosir, a word meaning “place of many small birds”.
