Inostrantsev Glacier, Tidewater glacier at Novaya Zemlya archipelago, Russia.
The Inostrantsev Glacier extends 35 kilometers in length and 3 kilometers in width, flowing from Severny Island's ice cap toward the Barents Sea.
The glacier received its name from Arctic explorer Georgy Sedov in recognition of Alexander Alexandrovich Inostrantsev, a prominent Russian geologist and academy member.
Scientists frequently conduct research at Inostrantsev Glacier to study ice core samples and gather data about historical atmospheric conditions and climate patterns.
Visitors require specialized Arctic equipment and proper permits to access this remote location, which experiences extreme weather conditions throughout the year.
The glacier terminates at Inostrantsev Bay, forming a remarkable fjord that measures 14 kilometers in width and reaches depths of 130 meters.
