	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.

	Russian Arctic - Novaya Zemlya
		Novaya Zemlya (Новая Земля) consists of two main islands (although at low resolution it appears as a single landmass) and numerous smaller offshore islets and rocks with a total land area of 90,650 km².
		The islands of Novaya Zemlya (New Land) form an approximately 1,000 km long curving arc that varies in width from 40 km in the north to 150 km in the south.
		Novaya Zemlya is the northernmost reach of the Ural Mountain Range that stretches for 4,000 km to the south towards the Aral Sea region of Central Asia.

		Novaya Zemlya is the largest archipelago in the European Arctic, and occupies an area of 83,000 square kilometers.
		Half of the northern section of Novaya Zemlya is a polar desert covered in ice, while tundra occupies the remainder of the archipelago.

	Earthquake or Nuclear Test?
		This is the 4th of 5 small earthquakes near Novaya Zemlya since 1986 that has been cited by the U.S. Defense Department (DoD) as being of either suspicious or problematic origin in terms of nuclear verification.
		Novaya Zemlya and surrounding waters is an area of low natural earthquake activity, a so-called intraplate region in the parlance of plate tectonics.
		Thus, of the 5 small earthquakes in and near Novaya Zemlya of the last 11 years, only that of 1986 was large enough to have an mb value comparable to that of an explosion of a few kilotons evasively tested.

	EOM Current Issues
		The climate of Novaya Zemlya is also influenced by the Gulf Stream, but to a considerably lesser degree than with the Kola Peninsula.
		Novaya Zemlya is further east and somewhat further north, thus the Gulf Stream water is mixed with cooler water in the Barents Sea to the west of Novaya Zemlya.
		During the NUPI satellite study of Novaya Zemlya, it became apparent that some important areas within the test site were constantly in shadow or very poorly illuminated by the sun.

	Case Study
		Novaya Zemlya, beginning in 1954, was exclusively used by Russia for almost 40 years as a nuclear testing area, atmospherically, underground, and in the surrounding oceans.
		Lately researchers have begun to discover that Novaya Zemlya was also used as a graveyard for various nuclear weapons, submarines, and reactors, sunk to the bottom of the ocean.
		Testing of the weapons was deemed essential in order to assure their potency.(Nilsen, 2) The first tests were done in 1955 while Novaya Zemlya was still populated not to mention that Russia started to dump the waste from its reactors into the waters surrounding the islands.
