Kosa Dvukh Pilotov Island is a long and narrow island in the Chukchi Sea. It is located along the coast of the Chukotka Peninsula in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.
This island is in length but only wide on average. It is a long extended bar or spit between the Chukchi Sea and the lagoons of Amguema and Tynkergynpil'gyn, coastal lakes which are frozen most of the year.
The island is named after pilot Carl Ben Eielson and mechanic Earl Borland who crashed near it in 1929.
The southeastern section of this island is also known as "Ostrov Dalstroy" after the Soviet organization Dalstroy.
