context_page_description: Northbrook Island is an island located in the southern edge of the Franz Josef Archipelago, Russia. Its highest point is 344 m.
  Northbrook Island is one of the most accessible locations in the island group. Thus it often served as a base for polar expeditions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
  This island was named after the Earl of Northbrook, who was president of the Royal Geographical Society between 1890 and 1893. The naming of the island was partly due to the insistence of Nikolai Góring, who was among the Earl's entourage during his presidential term.
