Wrangel Island is an uninhabited island off the
northern coast of far eastern Siberia. It's 37 miles from the nearest island
and 87 miles from the Russian mainland. Wrangel Island, together with Herald
Island and surrounding waters, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Wrangel Island Reserve is home to many polar bears, seals,
walrus and lemmings. During the summer it is visited by many types of birds
including the endangered Snow Goose. And
did you know that until about 4,000 years ago Wrangel Island supported the
world's last mammoth population?
