Kadin Island

Kadin Island is an island in the Alaska Panhandle of southeastern Alaska. It is located in the mouth of the Stikine River, 7 Km NW of Wrangell Island, Alexander Archipelago.

Kadin Island is 3.5 Km in length. The highest point on the island is 431 m above sea level. It belongs administratively to the Wrangell-Petersburg Census Area, Alaska.

This island was named 1863 by the surveyors of the Russian corvette "Rynda" after pilot Mikhail Kadin, an Aleut born in Atka, who was also a member of the surveying party. Kadin drew the charts in the Tebenkov atlas, along with Kozma Terentev in Sitka between 1848 and 1850.
