Zaliv Vladimira (43°54'N., 135°31'E.), the entrance of which lies between Mys Balyuzek and Mys Vatovskogo, about 1.2 miles to the S, indents the coast in a protected kidneyshaped formation which provides excellent anchorage sheltered from nearly all winds. The gulf is divided into two main bays, namely Bukhta Severnaya in the N, and Bukhta Yuzhnaya in the S, the two being separated on the W side by a cliffy nob-head projection known as Poluostrov Rudanovskogo. When the gulf is approached from ENE, a conspicuous cone-shaped peak, 470m high, can be seen rising between the entrance points and over the latter peninsula.
