Rt Seneka

Rt Seneka (rus. Мыс Сенека) je strmi rt u zapadnom Ohotskom moru. Ima strme litice koje su visoke 150 m i sivkasto-smeđe boje. Čini istočnu točku ulaza u Tugurskog zaljeva, jugoistočnu točku Lindholmovog tjesnaca i zapadnu točku ulaza u Akademijski zaljev; na njegovu sjeveru nalazi se otok Beliči. U blizini točke formiraju se brojni plimni razrezi i vrtlozi.^[1]
