The indigenous population (from 1872 to the 1950s when it was resettled to the mainland) consisted of about 50–300Nenetses who subsisted mainly on fishing, trapping, reindeer herding, polar bear hunting and seal hunting.
Novaya Zemlya consists of two major islands, separated by the narrow Matochkin Strait, and a number of smaller islands. The two main islands are Severny (Northern) and Yuzhny (Southern). Novaya Zemlya separates the Barents Sea from the Kara Sea. The total area is about 90,650 square kilometers (35,000sqmi). The highest mountain is located on the Northern island and is 1547 meters (5075ft) high.
In 2013, capital punishment has been abolished. With prison spaces running out, a group of prisoners are taken to an island called Novaya Zemlya for the sake of an experiment.

Russia releases previously classified 1961 footage of largest ever nuclear explosion
Russia has released previously classified footage of the world's largest nuclear explosion, caused when the Soviet Union detonated the so-called Tsar Bomba almost 60 years ago.
The hydrogen bomb, which carried the force of 50 million tons of conventional explosives, was detonated in a test on Oct.1961, 4,000 meters over the remote Novaya Zemlya archipelago above the Arctic Circle.
The footage shows an immense fireball and a 60-km high mushroom cloud rising after the explosion lit up the sky.
The views were captured from several angles by cameras installed on the ground and on board two Soviet aircraft.
A documentary featuring the footage was published online for the first time by Russian state nuclear agency Rosatom last week as part of events to mark 75th anniversary of Russia's atom...

Russia has released previously classified footage of the world's largest nuclear explosion, caused when the Soviet Union detonated the so-called Tsar Bomba almost 60 years ago.
The hydrogen bomb, which carried the force of 50 million tons of conventional explosives, was detonated in a test on Oct.1961, 4,000 meters over the remote Novaya Zemlya archipelago above the Arctic Circle.
The footage shows an immense fireball and a 60-km high mushroom cloud rising after the explosion lit up the sky.
The views were captured from several angles by cameras installed on the ground and on board two Soviet aircraft.
A documentary featuring the footage was published online for the first time by Russian state nuclear agency Rosatom last week as part of events to mark 75th anniversary of Russia's atomic industry.

The indigenous population (from 1872 to the 1950s when it was resettled to the mainland) consisted of about 50–300Nenetses who subsisted mainly on fishing, trapping, reindeer herding, polar bear hunting and seal hunting.
Novaya Zemlya consists of two major islands, separated by the narrow Matochkin Strait, and a number of smaller islands. The two main islands are Severny (Northern) and Yuzhny (Southern). Novaya Zemlya separates the Barents Sea from the Kara Sea. The total area is about 90,650 square kilometers (35,000sqmi). The highest mountain is located on the Northern island and is 1547 meters (5075ft) high.
