Bobrof Island is a small uninhabited volcanic island of the Andreanof Islands , which belongs to the Aleutian Islands . The island is about 4 km long and lies between Kanaga Island and Tanaga Island .
Bobrof was first recorded in the nautical charts in 1852 by Mikhail Tebenkov as "Ostrov Bobrovoy Vilga", in English Otter Island .
The island consists mainly of the Bobrof volcano of the same name. This stratovolcano has in the past produced both explosive eruptions, which generated pyroclastic flows , mainly of andesite , as well as effusive eruptions. More precise information on its last eruptions cannot be given, but it is believed to be of modern origin.
