Akhmatov Fjord, Arctic fjord in Severnaya Zemlya, Russia.
The fjord extends 56 kilometers in length, with a width varying from 17 kilometers at its mouth to 5 kilometers in its inner sections.
The Russian Hydrographic Service expedition under Boris Vilkitsky conducted detailed measurements of the fjord's characteristics and features in 1913.
The geographical designation commemorates the contributions of a Russian hydrographer who performed initial surveys of this northern water formation.
Navigation through the fjord requires specialized vessels and equipment due to year-round ice accumulation and extreme Arctic conditions.
The eastern entrance contains Lishny Island and Yuzhny Island, forming a natural barrier that creates a protected internal waterway.
