Karpinsky Glacier, Ice cap in Severnaya Zemlya archipelago, Russia
The Karpinsky Glacier spans 2,800 square kilometers across October Revolution Island, reaching an elevation of 963 meters above sea level.
The glacier received its name from Alexander Petrovich Karpinsky, a Russian geologist who made substantial contributions to Arctic exploration.
Scientists from international research stations regularly monitor this glacier to understand the effects of temperature changes on Arctic ice formations.
Access to the Karpinsky Glacier requires specialized transportation and permits due to its location in the remote Russian Arctic territory.
The glacier feeds into the Marat Fjord while connecting to the Matusevich Fjord, the largest in the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago.
