[:ja]NASAの地球観測衛星Landsat 8が撮影したロシアのセヴェルナヤ・ゼムリャ諸島です。
セヴェルナヤ・ゼムリャ諸島は北極海に位置するロシア連邦領の諸島です。遠隔地かつ北極圏内にあり、ロシアの中でもとりわけ厳しい環境にさらされるため、先住民や定住者は存在しません。ただし諸島南端のボリシェヴィク島に極地観測用のプリマと呼ばれる基地が置かれており、ロシア政府により派遣される研究員が一時的に滞在し、基地での勤務に当たっています。

[Earthview Wonders] No.805: Severnaya Zemlya, Russia🇷🇺
NASA’s Landsat 8 satellite captured Severnaya Zemlya, Russia.
Severnaya Zemlya is an archipelago in the Russian high Arctic, lying off Siberia’s Taymyr Peninsula. In Soviet times there were a number of research stations in different locations, but currently there are no human inhabitants in Severnaya Zemlya except for the Prima Polar Station near Cape Baranov. The largest glacier in Russia, the Academy of Sciences Glacier, is located in Severnaya Zemlya. The archipelago is notable as well in connection with the ongoing multiyear Arctic sea ice decline. By the late summer of 2012, the permanent ice had reached a record low extent and open water appeared to the south of the archipelago.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
