Red Army Strait

Red Army Strait (Russian: Пролив Красной Армии, Proliv Krasnoy Army)[1] is a strait in Severnaya Zemlya, Russia.

The Red Army Strait is 18 kilometers (11 mi) wide.

It separates Komsomolets Island in the north from October Revolution Island in the south and connects the Kara Sea in the west with the Laptev Sea in the east.
