Wrangel Island: An Untouched Arctic Paradise
Spanning an area of 7,670 square kilometers, Wrangel Island is located in the Arctic Ocean, just 140 kilometers off the northern coast of Russia.
Currently, the island hosts no permanent population. The only year-round residents are the staff of the nature reserve and the hydrometeorological station. Their numbers swell in the summer months with the arrival of researchers and scientific expedition teams, while in winter, only a small guard team remains on site.
Wrangel Island stands out for its pristine environment. It is home to nearly the entire global population of snow geese — approximately 100,000 individuals. In total, more than 170 bird species have been recorded there. The island also serves as the primary resting ground for Pacific walruses in the Chukchi Sea. Additionally, it hosts tundra lemmings, reindeer, and stoats.
Furthermore, the island is often referred to as the “maternity ward” of the white bear, hosting one of the world’s largest concentrations of polar bear dens.
Since 1976, Wrangel Island has enjoyed the status of a Russian natural reserve, and it has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2004.
