The Podvodnyye Islands (Azerbaijani: Qutan Adası[1] and Baburi Adasi[2]) are a small island group off the Azerbaijan coast in the Caspian Sea.[3]

Geography

The Podvodnyye are a cluster of islets extending for about 7 km in a NW - SE direction.[4] The group is part of the Baku Archipelago, but it lies south of the bay.

The northernmost islet is located 0.8 km from the mainland shore. The largest islet is about 2 km in length, but very narrow.[5]
