[citation needed] Salm Island is almost completely glacierized except for two headlands in its western and its southern shore.

Ostrova Bisernyye are two small islets located right off Salm Island's southern shore.

This island is named after Austro-Hungarian nobleman Johann Nepomuk Graf Wilczek.

Its area is 14 km2 (5 sq mi) and it was named after Russian Count Fyodor Petrovich Litke.

This island was named after Teplitz-Schönau (now Teplice, Czech Republic), the birthplace of Austro-Hungarian arctic explorer Julius Payer, who made the discovery of Franz Josef Land, when he led, as Commander at Shore, the Austro-Hungarian North Pole Expedition together with Commander at Sea Karl Weyprecht.
