    Overview

    Maly Lyakhovsky Island (Russian: Малый Ляховский) is the second largest of the Lyakhovsky Islands belonging to the New Siberian Islands archipelago in Laptev Sea in northern Russia. It has an area of 975.5 km2 (376.6 sq mi). The Lyakhovsky Islands are named in honour of Ivan Lyakhov, who, along with Zaitai Protodyakonov, first arrived on the Maly Lyakhovsky Island in April 1770. In 1773, accompanied by several other people, he and Protodyakonov came back to the island in a five-oared boat just as they were going up north to where the Kotelny Island was. The island has been visited several times ever since, such as in May 1893 by Baron Toll and Lieutenant Shileiko.
