948 km in length, the island of Sakhalin resembles a fish on a map of Russia. Furthermore, Sakhalin Oblast is the only insular oblast in Russia.

The island is 948 km in length. When looking at the map of Russia the shape of Sakhalin resembles a fish. And Sakhalin Oblast/Region is the only island with federal subject status in Russia.

The isle length is 948 km. Sakhalin looks like fish-shaped from above on the map of Russia. And at the same time it is the only one island-state Russian province.

LOOKS LIKE FISH-SHAPED isn’t idiomatic or grammatical. It doesn’t LOOK fish-shaped, it IS fish-shaped.
