		I claim that Wrangell Island is originally the property of the United States through right of discovery, but it is a principle of international law that claims arising out of the discovery must be followed up within any reasonable time by exploration or occupancy or else it lapses into the territory of a no-man's island.

		After a couple of abortive attempts at settlement and protracted diplomatic argument, Wrangel Island is now occupied by a small team of Russian scientists and their supporting community who maintain a meteorological and research base at Ushakovskoye on the Southern coast.
		A good part of the reason Wrangel Island was chosen for this extreme survival exercise is the abundance of wildlife.
		Ironically, Wrangel Island also escaped glaciation in the last Ice Age, leaving several unique species of vascular plants and was probably the last place on Earth to support a woolly mammoth population.
