Mount Kruzenshtern
Mount Kruzenshtern () is a peak in Severny Island, Novaya Zemlya, Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia. It rises inland near the northwestern shore and is the highest point of Arkhangelsk Oblast. The mountain was first put on the map in the 1820s by Arctic explorer Fyodor Litke (1797–1882) following his Novaya Zemlya explorations. It was named after Russian Navy Admiral Ivan Kruzenshtern (1770–1846). The mountain's name must have been known to Soviet topographers, but for undisclosed reasons it was omitted in USSR maps printed in mid 20th century. Description
