Blinov Island

Blinov (Russian: Блинов) is an island in the Caspian Sea on the Obzhorovsky site in the Astrakhan Nature Reserve. It consists of reed and cattail supports in the water.

The island appeared in the 1930s. In 1977, the island's area increased significantly with a decrease in the level of the Caspian Sea. With an increase in the level of the lake, it is very common to be under water. In March 2023, a fire broke out on the island, which was practically inaccessible for extinguishing.
