Vkhodnoy Island (Kara Sea)

[1] Vkhodnoy is a 0.75 km (0.47 mi) long island located 600 m (2,000 ft) to the west of Cape Johansen (Mys Iogansena), the westernmost headland of Nansen Island.

[3] Geologically all these coastal islands are a continuation of the Nordenskiöld Archipelago which lies further north.

[4] Vkhodnoy Island belongs to the Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District of the Krasnoyarsk Krai administrative division of Russia and is part of the Great Arctic State Nature Reserve – the largest nature reserve of Russia and one of the biggest in the world.

[5] In October 1900, during Baron Eduard von Toll’s fateful last expedition, the winter quarters for Toll's ship Zarya were set nearby at Nablyudeniy Island and a scientific station was built there.

Nablyudeniy is a small granite island south of Bonevi Island located in a bay that Baron Toll named Colin Archer Bay (Bukhta Kolin Archera).
