	Novaya Zemlya - LoveToKnow 1911
		NOVAYA ZEMLYA (Nova Zembla, " new land"), an Arctic land off the coast of European Russia, to which it belongs, consisting of two large islands separated by a narrow winding channel, the Matochkin Shar.
		Novaya Zemlya is colder than Spitsbergen (which lies more to the N.) as in some degree it shares in the continental conditions of northern Russia and Siberia.
		Novaya Zemlya seems to have been known to Novgorod hunters in the 11th century; but its geographical discovery dates from the great movement for the discovery of the N.E. passage.

		This is the first book-length study on the paleoclimate and Quaternary geology of this island group since Grønlie’s report of 1924.
		The Russian Arctic is at the receiving end of the climatically sensitive oceanic ‘conveyor belt', and fluctuations in this heat flow have considerable consequences for Arctic geography and ecology.
		Glaciers on Novaya Zemlya are stable since the 1950s due to substantial increase in winter precipitation associated with strengthening of the North Atlantic Oscillation.

	Henry Hudson's Second Voyage, 1608: The Northeast Passage
		The founding governor of the Muscovy Company, Sebastian Cabot, had also believed in the existence of this passage and had organized several unsuccessful expeditions to search for it, before is death in 1577.
		Hudson's observations about the sea proved him an able navigator, but he was unable to get through the ice-laden waters past the islands of Novaya Zemlya (Nova Zemlya or also Nova Zembla).
		For when we were at Nova Zembla on the 6th of July, void of hope of a Northeast Passage...I therefore resolved to use all means I could to sail to the northwest."

	Nova Zembla - Mercury in Retrograde
		The emergency wintering of Dutch explorers in 1596/97 on the artic island of Nova Zembla is a historic event of legendary significance in Dutch history.
		Nova Zembla has provided an ideology for nationalist ambitions in the 19th century, and a symbol of resistance and endurance in the post-war era.
		Thanks to Jerzy Gawronski (archaeologist and expedition leader Nova Zembla 1995) and the Nova Zembla Expedition University of Amsterdam, JaapJan Zeeberg, author of ‘Into the Ice Sea’ 2005, and Peter Floore (archaeologist) for their loans and support.

		He was a very young sick sailor, Jacob Schiedamm, who died soon afterward, but on the memorable evening he smiled for the last time, to his companions rather than the world.

		The Arctic seas are also subject to radiation inputs from many other sources, including runoff from the dumping of nuclear reprocessing wastes into rivers that flow into the Arctic seas; atmospheric, underwater, and underground atomic and hydrogen bomb testing on Nova Zemlya; and releases resulting from various emergencies, including Chernobyl.
		The Yablokov report indicates that, as of 1992, approximately 190,000 cubic meters of liquid radioactive waste with a total activity of approximately 23,000 Ci was dumped in 5 sites in the Arctic seas (see figure 1).

		A “Sandy Cape” (C. Sande) is probably the Cabo de Arenas of Gomes, here appearing as the southern tip of Nova Scotia (Cape Sable) but positioned precisely on the latitude of Cape Cod (to which feature Cabo de Arenas is in fact sometimes applied) because of the erroneous lateral orientation of the coast.
		Printed in London, with English text on verso, this map was struck from the Dutch copperplate prepared by Jodocus Hondius for the Mercator Atlas Minor of 1607.
		Perhaps the most famous world map of the seventeenth century, Blaeu's map is "celebrated as one of the supreme examples of the map maker's art" (-Shirley).

	Henry Hudson's Third Voyage, 1609: The New World
		Hondius wrote to Plancius on this day, saying, "I have heard that Hudson began his adventure two days ago." Obviously Hudson's friends were not at the dock when he left, so the start may have been inauspicious, and lacking any of the usual ceremony and religious service that preceded voyages.
		After contending for more than a fortnight with head winds, continual fogs, and ice, Hudson found it impossible to reach even the coast of Nova Zemlya, where he had been the year before.
		After leaving these islands, they sailed on, till on the 18th of July they reached the coast of Nova Francia, under 44 degrees, where they were obliged to run in, in order to get a new foremast, having lost theirs.

	UFO Area Is Our Earth Hollow? - A Hypothetical Dissertation (part 2)
		And so it was always believed for centuries, until this was challenged in the 18th century by Olaf Rudbeck, who claimed the lost kingdom as having been his native land of Sweden.
		This started a new trend of thought among the scholars, and Bailly, whom we met earlier, became convinced that Atlantis had been much further north than had hitherto been supposed, and suggested either Spitzbergen, Greenland or Nova Zemlya as possible sites.
		He rationalised that because the rotary movement of the planet close to the poles was so much less, the atmosphere might well have been less agitated, thus making it in reality a place of eternal spring.

		Angaria, named from the Angara shield at its core and the Angara river that cuts through it, comprised most of Siberia from the Ural Mountains to the Lena River.

		The biggest issue in nuclear power is what to do with the radioactive waste the plants generate.
		With the exceptions of Russia, which ships the stuff to Nova Zemlya, and France, which won`t say what it`s doing with its radioactive waste but assures everyone that it`s not a problem, every country has run into a problem of how to dispose of the waste.
		In the United States, the disposal site at Yucca Mountain in Nevada is so far behind schedule that nuclear plant operators are suing the government; Britain stores the stuff on plant sites; Korea is building huge above-ground warehouses; and Taiwan is moving its offshore disposal site because of pressure from nearby residents.
