Aklanski Ostrog (Russian : Акланский острог) or Penzhinskoye zimovye (Пенжинское зимовье; "wintering place Penzhina") was a fortified city in Russia between 1679 and 1804 on the river Oklan (then Chajachla or Aklan), into which the Penzhina flows. The city, established by Vladimir Atlasov as a stronghold for the Koryaks forcing jasak to pay, was not much more than a fortified place, having the status of oejezdstad. The place was also hated by the Koryaks (the place burned down several times) and the Yukaghirs (which besieged the place once). The nearest place was the Ostrog Anadyrsk, on the middle reaches of the Anadyr.

Around 1680 there was a log cabin with two shelters, one for the Cossacks and Koryak prisoners, who Amanat were held to Koryaks to force the jasak to be invoked. Beside the house was a shed for the storage of sable skins.
