caption_attribution_description: English: The Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on NASA’s Earth Observing-1 satellite captured this image of Henrietta Island. In this natural-color image, the island casts shadows to the north, thanks to the Sun’s low angle and the island’s own steep, rugged coastline. Inland, an icy dome covers most of the island, its southern surface slightly illuminated.
context_page_description: Henrietta Island is the northernmost island of the De Long archipelago in the East Siberian Sea. Administratively it belongs to Yakutia of the Russian Federation.
context_section_description: Henrietta Island was described by the sled party from the De Long expedition in the following terms: "The island is a desolate rock, surmounted by a snow-cap, which feeds several discharging glaciers on its east face.  Dovekies nesting in the face of the rock are the only signs of game.  A little moss, some grass, and a handful of rock were brought back as trophies.  The cliffs are inaccessible, because of their steepness."
