Bruce Island (Franz Josef Land)

Bruce Island (Russian: Остров Брюса, romanized: Ostrov Brjusa) is an island in Franz Josef Land, Russia.

[1] This island was named after Henry Bruce, who succeeded the Earl of Northbrook as President of the Royal Geographical Society.

[2] Except for a very small area at the western shoreline, Bruce Island is completely glacierized.

The sound running west of Bruce Island, separating it from Zemlya Georga, is known as the Nightingale Channel (Proliv Naytingeyl).

To the southwest runs Bates Channel (Пролив Бейтса).
