The islands of Ogliuga and Skagul are a closely spaced pair of islands that belong to the Delarof group of the central Aleutians. They are located 17 km southeast from Gareloi and 32 km southwest from Tanaga; their closest neighbour is the island of Kavalga 6 km to the southwest.
Ogliuga, the western island, is the largest of the two islands and lies less than 1 km across the narrow Skagul Pass from Skagul. Ogliuga has an east to west length of 4.8 km and a maximum width of 3 km; the slightly smaller Skagul has an east to west dimension of 2.5 km and 2.8 km from north to south. Many small islets and emergent rocks lie offshore and to the southeast.
