Nordenskiöld Archipelago

Russia

The Nordenskiöld Archipelago or Nordenskjold Archipelago (Russian: , romanized: Arkhipelag Nordenshel'da) is a large and complex cluster of about 90 islands in the eastern region of the Kara Sea. Its eastern limit lies 120 km (75 mi) west of the Taymyr Peninsula. The archipelago is part of the Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District of the Krasnoyarsk Krai administrative division of Russia. These are mainly formed by igneous rocks and are covered with tundra vegetation. Except for two polar stations, one which was permanent in Russky Island between 1935 and 1999 and a temporary one in Tyrtov Island (Tyrtova) (1940–1975), there is no permanent human presence in any island of the archipelago.
