Stolbovoy Island, Remote Arctic island in Bulunsky Ulus, Russia.

The long and narrow island stretches for 47 kilometers with a maximum width of 10 kilometers in the eastern Laptev Sea.

First surveyed by Russian explorer Yakov Sannikov in 1800, the island contained crosses indicating earlier presence of Russian seafarers.

The island represents a connection to Siberian Arctic exploration traditions through its strategic position in the New Siberian archipelago.

Access to the island requires careful planning due to ice conditions, with transportation limited to boats or helicopters during summer months.

The island contains a 5-kilometer lake in its northeastern section, separated from the sea by a narrow landform.
