Overview
Chyornye Bratya (Russian: Чёрные Братья, lit. 'Black Brothers'; Japanese: 知理保以島, romanized: Chiripoi-to) 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 (Russian for Chirpoy's Brother). 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”.
