An archipelago in the Barents Sea, part of the Arctic Ocean, in the northwest of the Russian Federation. It belongs to Arkhangelsk Oblast. It consists of about 190 islands with a total area of 16,100 km2. The highest point is a snowy plain with an elevation of 620 m. Large islands include Bilichik Island (2,000 km2) in the east and Georg Island (2,741 km2) in the west. It is thought that a huge basalt plateau once formed the islands, but erosion has led to the formation of many islands. The islands are all at an elevation of around 350 to 500 m. Up to 85% of the surface area is covered by glaciers and snowy plains, with the rest being bare land. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
