Severny Island ice cap, Arctic glacier in Novaya Zemlya, Russia
The Severny Island ice cap extends over 20,500 square kilometers, covering 40 percent of the northern island in the Novaya Zemlya archipelago.
Friedrich Benjamin von Lütke conducted the first detailed exploration of the Severny Island ice cap during his Arctic mapping expeditions in the early 1800s.
Russian scientific research stations on Severny Island gather data about glacial movements and environmental changes in the Arctic region throughout the year.
Visitors require special permits and can only reach the ice cap through authorized research expeditions due to its location in a restricted military zone.
The ice cap forms the largest glacial mass in Europe when considering Novaya Zemlya as part of the European continent.
