  Severnaya Zemlya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The last archipelago on Earth to be discovered, Severnaya was first noted in 1913 and originally named Nicholas II Land.
Initially believed to be a single island, the 1931 polar flight of the Graf Zeppelin determined them to be at least two islands; later study by the expedition of Nikolay Urvantsev and Georgy Ushakov (1931-1933) showed Severnaya Zemlya to be further divided.
Severnaya is also the setting of a chapter in the James Bond movie, Goldeneye.

 Severnaya Zemlya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Severnaya Zemlya (Северная Земля, Russian, Northern Land) is an archipelago located in the Arctic Ocean.
Initially believed to be a single island, the 1931 polar flight of the Graf Zeppelin determined them to be at least two islands; later study showed Severnaya Zemlya to be further divided.
A fictional Russian satellite control base in the James Bond movie GoldenEye was called "Severnaya", although maps and satellite images in the movie place the site in a heavily forested region somewhere in central Russia.

The ice-covered archipelagoes of Franz Josef Land and Severnaya Zemlya are among the least well known areas of the polar regions.
A second objective is to undertake field investigations of mass balance, thermal structure, velocity and strain on selected ice caps within Franz Josef Land, in order to quantify the climatic gradient across the archipelago and its effects on ice cap morphology and dynamics.
It is clear that the ice caps on Severnaya Zemlya have a greater part of their area within the accumulation zone than on Franz Josef Land, based on comparative mapping of the late-summer snowline position.

 Arctic Ocean - Russian Arctic
Their low salinities and high latitudes mean that these arctic marginal seas are often the first to freeze as winter approaches and can remain frozen deep in to the brief Arctic summer — particularly in the east.
Emerging from these shallow arctic seas are a four large groups of islands: the Franz Josef Land archipelago (16,134 km²), Severnaya Zemlya (38,800 km²), Novaya Zemlya (90,650 km²) and the New Siberian Islands (29,000 km²).
Komsomolets Island, in the Severnaya Zemlya group, contains the largest ice cap of the Russian Arctic region where the Academy of Sciences Ice Cap covers over five thousand square kilometers of the island in an ice dome of over 800 m thickness.

 Role of Georgiy Alekseevich Ushakov in development of Russian oceanology, VII International Congress
The contribution made by G.A. Ushakov to the study and first mapping of Wrangel Island (1926 – 1929) and the Severnaya Zemlya Archipelago (1930 – 1932) is well known.
As a result of Ushakov's studies, the area of the Great Northern polynia (discovered by the expedition of P.F. Anjou (Anzhu) in the beginning of the19th century at the Laptev sea) was estab­lished at the northern coast of Wrangel Island (1926 – 1929) and the Severnaya Zemlya Archipelago (1930 – 1932).
As a result, a jet of the warm Gulf Stream was discovered off the coast of the Severnaya Zemlya Archipelago, which, in turn, made it possible for the sci­entists to evaluate, for the first time, the influence of the warm Atlantic water on the ice and climate of the Arctic.

With a position on the north-eastern flank of any Kara Sea-based ice sheet, stratigraphic data from the Severnaya Zemlya islands (ZS) is crucial for any ice-sheet reconstruction.
The beach gravels, in turn, are covered by a thin, cryoturbated diamicton, probably of a glacial origin (T-3).
The data indicate three Late Quaternary major glaciations on October Revolution Island, where local ice caps grew and expanded and probably coalesced with ice from Taymyr and Novaya Zemlya to form a Kara Sea Ice Sheet.

It have been studied the stores of seeds in soils of plant communities of Taymyr and Severnaya Zemlya.
The lowest seed stocks (300-500 per m2) are formed on spots of bare ground in Taymyr and Severnaya Zemlya communities, where they consist of 7-15 species.
However, the majority of species, especially dominants and co-dominants, form seed banks that may serve as a criterion for the estimation of biodiversity of Far North plant communities.
