Matusevich Fjord, Arctic fjord in Severnaya Zemlya, Russia
The Matusevich Fjord extends 60 kilometers through October Revolution Island, with steep mountains reaching heights of 590 meters on both sides.
Soviet researchers Georgy Ushakov and Nikolay Urvantsev first documented the fjord during their 1931 expedition to explore Severnaya Zemlya.
The fjord received its name in recognition of Nikolai Matusevich, who conducted extensive research in the Arctic regions of Russia.
Access to the fjord requires specialized Arctic expedition equipment and vessels due to its remote location and extreme weather conditions.
Two small islands, Trudny and Pregrazhdayushchy, sit within the inner fjord where three branches meet at the convergence of Rusanov and Karpinsky glaciers.
