During the Soviet Union, the full name of Russia was the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. At that time, the Soviet Union named many regions, such as the Königsberg region, which originally belonged to Germany, which was changed to Kaliningrad. St. Petersburg, was changed to Leningrad. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, some regions reverted to their original names, such as Leningrad, back to St. Petersburg, although others still retain their Soviet-era names. For example, Kaliningrad, Severdamlya and many other regions.
The Severdaya Zemlya archipelago is located in the northern part of Siberia, in the Arctic Ocean, and belongs to the Kra**Yarsk Territory of Russia. Krayarsk Krai is located in central Siberia, adjacent to the Republic of Sakha, the Republic of Tuva, the Tyumen Region and other places, with a total area of 2.33 million square kilometers.
The Kra**Yarsk Territory borders the Arctic Ocean in the north and reaches the Sayan Mountains in the south, with a span of 3,000 kilometers from north to south and 1,200 kilometers from east to west. The northern part of the Kra**Yarsk Territory penetrates into the Arctic Ocean and is the Taimyr Peninsula, which is about 1,000 kilometers long and 500 kilometers wide, with an area of about 400,000 square kilometers.
The Temyr Peninsula is the northernmost peninsula in Asia, and the North-Zemlya archipelago is located in the northern part of the Tamil Peninsula. The North-Zemlya archipelago is located at high latitudes and has a polar climate and is very cold, 465 of the area is covered with glaciers, which are about 250 meters thick.
The total area of the North-Zemlya archipelago is about 3760,000 square kilometers, including four large islands and more than 70 smaller islands. The North-Zemlya archipelago is located in the Arctic Ocean region, bordered by the Kara Sea to the west and the Laptev Sea to the east.
First, the largest island in the Severdalya archipelago is called October Revolution Island, named by the Soviet Union, and has an area of 1410,000 square kilometers. Located in the middle of the North-Zemlya archipelago, October Revolution Island is the main island of the North-Zemlya archipelago and the highest island in the North-Zemlya archipelago.
The island of the October Revolution has a rugged terrain, with most areas at an altitude of 500 to 800 meters, and the highest point of the island is 965 meters above sea level. The island of the October Revolution had a harsh climate, no human settlement, and was not included in the ** territory before the Soviet Union.
In 1930 and 1932, Soviet expeditions arrived in the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago and officially incorporated the island into the Soviet Union. In honor of the October Revolution, the Soviet Union named the largest island in the North-Zemlya archipelago the October Revolution Island.
Second, the second largest island in the North-Zemlya archipelago is called Bolshevik Island, which is located in the southern part of the North-Zemlya archipelago, across the sea from the island of the October Revolution. The area of the Bolshevik island is about 1120,000 square kilometers, the terrain is similar to that of the October Revolution Island, mainly mountainous and hilly, with the highest point at an altitude of 935 meters.
Third, the third largest island in the North-Zemlya archipelago is called Komsomol Island, with an area of 8,812 square kilometers, and the October Revolution Island is across the Red Army Strait. The Red Army Strait is a shipping channel connecting the Kara Sea and the Laptev Sea in the Arctic Ocean. Komsomolskaya Island is the highest latitude island in the North-Zemlya archipelago, and its northernmost part has crossed 80 degrees north latitude, near the North Pole. The climate here is extremely cold, and Russia has built a polar research station here.
Fourth, the fourth largest island in the North-Zemlya archipelago is called Young Pioneers Island, which is located at the west mouth of the Red Army Strait and has an important geographical location. The area of the Young Pioneers Island is about 1,550 square kilometers, and the altitude is also relatively low, with the highest point of the island at 327 meters above sea level.
The Northly-Zemlya archipelago has a very cold climate, which can reach minus 50 degrees in winter and around 1 degree Celsius in summer. Most of the North-Zemlya archipelago is a polar desert with no human settlement. The fauna here is similar to that of Northern Europe, with seals, walruses and other animals. Affected by geological conditions and glacial erosion, the Northland archipelago has rocky shores and fjords. The Severdajmlya archipelago was incorporated into Russia during the Soviet era, and the name of the island is also named during the Soviet period, so the name of the Soviet period is maintained.
