It is the northernmost island in the southern Kuril/Chishima islands, and though it is presently controlled by Russia, Japan also claims this island. It was Japanese territory until the end of the Second World War, but Japanese residents were forced out following the Soviet invasion in 1945. Iturup is located near the southern end of the Kuril/Chishima chain, between Kunashiri (19 km to the SW) and Urup (37 km to the NE).
