Aldoma Bay


Aldoma Bay is a small bay in the western Sea of Okhotsk. It is 8 km east to west and 14.5 km north to south. The Aldoma River flows into it from the west; to its east lies the Nurki Peninsula. It is considered the best anchorage in the northwestern part of the sea as it offers shelter from northeast winds.
