Dikson Island is a small, uninhabited island located in the Arctic Ocean, part of the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago in Russia. It is situated near the northern coast of Siberia and is known for its harsh climate, characterized by long, cold winters and short, cool summers. The island is primarily covered by glaciers and ice, making it a remote and challenging environment. The island is named after the Russian explorer Mikhail Dikson, who contributed to Arctic exploration. Due to its extreme conditions, Dikson Island has limited human activity and is primarily of interest to scientists studying climate change and Arctic ecosystems.
