		Not imaged in the atlas are the isolated islands of Ushakova (266 km²) and Vise (217 km²) — located in the high central Arctic regions between Franz Josef Land and Severnaya Zemlya.
		There are also numerous small islands and island groups located just off the mainland coast, especially in the region of the Ob-Yenisey estuaries and along the coast of the Taymyr Peninsula.

		As a result of an onboard fire, Komsomolets sank on April 7, 1989, at a depth of 1700 meters in the Norwegian Sea, 180 miles to the south of Medvezhy Island.

		The crescent-shaped Santorini is a fairy-tale Greek island of whitewashed houses and churches with blue domes.
		The island is a popular place for weddings and honeymoons, with the privacy and seclusion of its cliffside hotels making it a favorite of celebrities and others seeking to avoid the paparazzi.
		Fewer than 10,000 people live on the entire island, and only about 1,000 in Oia, and most of them are tied into the hotel and restaurant business or other aspects of the tourist industry, so it is understandable that they would pay particular attention to who was holding a wedding where.

	Abstract from 1996 SRA-Europe Annual Meeting
		On the Kola peninsula and in the adjacent parts of the Arctic seas there are several sources contributing to the present radioactive contamination, as well as constituting potential cases of future releases.
		This event, as well as the extensive dumping in the Arctic seas of liquid and solid waste has become an international focus of interest during, the last five years, and the subject of several investigations in situ or in the form of case studies of hypothetical release situations.
		The sunken submarine Komsomolets, as well as the radioactive matter dumped in the Barents and Kara Seas in liquid and solid form, on the other hand, appear to be associated with relatively low radiological consequences, even if release of all the presently remaining radioactivity should occur during, a very short time.
