I just googled it, besides a ghost town called Ushakovskoye, there is basically nothing on that island. The last inhabitant was killed by a Polar bear in 2003. It's also the last place on earth where mammoths survived. However the Russian Navy plans to establish a new base there.

Mammoths still exist?

>>75627785
Yea, nowadays they live in most of Russia and Mongolia

>>75627785
No but the last known population remained on that island until 4,000 years ago, whereas on other parts of the world mammoths disappeared between 14,000 and 10,000 years ago

Wow, that town looks cool to explore.

Hopefully the Russians that are trying to clone a mammoth aren't using their dna though

That frozen mammoth they found some years comes from another island called Maly Lyakhovsky Island

What the fuck.. it must have died very recently since its body is still fresh, is the government hiding something?

>mfw I looked it up and it's true

>>75630005
Don't know if I'd want to use one from an island.

>>75630005
It's actually 40,000 years old, but well-preserved because of the ice

It's the best-preserved specimen ever found, if they really wanna clone mammoths they have to use this one. They even found blood and guts in it
