		The exit of the first adit showed to the strait of Matochkin Shar, and the diagnostic devices for the registration of measurement data were placed in solid iron constructions installed in holes in the granite-massif near the exit of the adit.
		The entrance of the adit led to the Shumilikha river, carrying its waters from the mountain glaciers to the strait of Matochkin Shar.
		And today, visiting the strait with inspection teams, I always come to this barrier (it is like returning again and again to my youth), and again and again I recollect my friends and the usual routine of the severe but happy everyday life I led here every summer and every autumn for twenty years.

		The western slope of the mountain ridge facing the Matochkin Strait was sunlit and we could therefore see a structure that strongly indicated tunneling activity.
		The Matochkin Strait was still covered with gray, rotten ice that obviously would break up and melt within the next few days.
		The imprinted pattern on the ice clearly shows that the heavy equipment must have been hoisted from the vessels onto large trucks that drove across the thick ice on the Matochkin Strait, over the beach, and then onward to the tunnel entrances.

	The Komet Enters the Pacific \| NZETC
		On 13 August he received orders to proceed to Matochkin Strait, the narrow channel which bisects Novaya Zemlya, but when the Komet arrived there she found no sign of the promised ice-breaker, the Lenin, which had gone on with a convoy a week before.
		The Komet finally passed through the strait on 19 August, and, following close behind the ice-breaker Stalin, she safely cleared Cape Chelyuskin, the most northerly point of Siberia, 720 miles from the North Pole.
		On 1 September, when there were still 600 miles to go to Behring Strait, the ice-breaker suddenly stopped and reported that ‘orders had come from Moscow’ not to accompany the Komet any farther eastward but to bring her back.
