Belkovsky Island

Belkovsky Island is a small island in the New Siberian Islands archipelago of the Russian Arctic, west of Kotelny Island.

Kotelny Island: Kotelny Island is the largest island in the New Siberian Islands archipelago, in the Russian Arctic. Belkovsky lies just west of Kotelny, the archipelago’s largest island.
Arctic Ocean: The Arctic Ocean is the smallest ocean, centered on the North Pole and largely enclosed by northern continents. Belkovsky occupies the Arctic Ocean’s island-covered Siberian margin.
Arctic research: Arctic research studies the physical, biological, and human systems of the region around the North Pole. Remote islands such as Belkovsky form part of the region’s observational landscape.
Bunge Land: Bunge Land is a low-lying landform connecting parts of Kotelny Island in the New Siberian Islands. It is a nearby geographic feature that helps distinguish Belkovsky from Kotelny’s connected terrain.
New Siberian Islands: The New Siberian Islands are an Arctic archipelago between the Laptev and East Siberian seas. Belkovsky is one of the archipelago’s western islands.
Permafrost: Permafrost is ground that remains at or below 0 °C for at least two consecutive years. Permafrost underlies much of the low-lying Arctic terrain surrounding Belkovsky.
Arctic bathymetry: Arctic bathymetry is the measurement and mapping of depths and underwater terrain in Arctic waters. Seafloor mapping places Belkovsky within the shallow shelf around the archipelago.
Faddeyevsky Island: Faddeyevsky Island is a large island in the New Siberian Islands, east of Kotelny Island. It lies farther east in the same archipelago, contrasting with Belkovsky’s western position.
Laptev Sea: The Laptev Sea is a marginal sea of the Arctic Ocean north of Siberia. This sea borders the western part of the New Siberian Islands.
Sea ice: Sea ice is frozen seawater that forms, grows, and melts in the ocean. Seasonal sea ice affects access to Belkovsky and nearby Arctic waters.
