Overview
The Scott Hansen Islands (Russian: Острова Скотт-Гансена, Ostrova Skott-Gansena) is a group of three small islands covered with tundra vegetation in the Kara Sea, about 20 km from the tip of the Mikhailov Peninsula in the coast of Siberia. In many maps these islands appear with the name Scott-Gansen Islands, derived from the Russian spelling. The Scott-Hansen group belongs to the Krasnoyarsk Krai administrative division of Russia. It is part of the Great Arctic State Nature Reserve, the largest nature reserve of Russia. The westernmost island, at about 3 km, is larger than the other two. The islands are named as a group; individual islands do not have names in common maps. The sea surrounding the islands is covered with pack ice with some polynias in winter, and there are many ice floes even in summer.
