Sukhoy Nos

Russia

Sukhoy Nos (lit. 'Dry Nose') is a cape on Severny Island, the northern island of the archipelago Novaya Zemlya in the Northern Arctic Ocean, projecting westward into the Barents Sea. It was the location for the detonation of the most powerful bomb ever built – the 50-megaton hydrogen bomb Tsar Bomba – in October 1961.
