Jeannette Island, Remote island in East Siberian Sea, Russia
The easternmost landmass of De Long Islands rises 351 meters above sea level and spans 3 kilometers in length and 1.3 kilometers in width.
Lieutenant Commander George W. De Long discovered this territory in 1881 during an expedition when his ship USS Jeannette became trapped in Arctic ice pack.
The island maintains its geological importance with exposed bedrock formations containing Upper Cambrian volcaniclastic rocks and andesitic lava flows along the southwestern coast.
Access to the island requires specialized vessels capable of navigating through thick ice formations that surround the landmass throughout most of the year.
The island appears as a black mark on Google Maps, generating numerous theories about its appearance and sparking international discussions about territorial claims.
