A previously unknown piece of land has emerged in Borzov Bay off Severny Island, which is part of the Novaya Zemlya archipelago. It measures approximately 400 meters long and 121 meters wide, with its central coordinates at 76°06'41,1''N latitude and 61°13'04,5''E longitude.
The Northern Fleet’s hydrographers have been monitoring the formation of the new island in Borzov Bay through satellite photographs for several years. In 2023, an attempt was made to survey the emerging island from the sea.
“Now, the hydrographers need to do some legwork to determine if the new discovery is real,” said Capt. 1st Rank Alexei Kornis, who heads a section at the Northern Fleet’s Hydrographic Service.
