KOLGUEV

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 889 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KOLGUEV , KoLGUEFF or KALGUYEV, an
island
  off the north-west of
Russia
  in Europe, belonging to the government of Arch-
angel
 . It lies about 50 M. from the nearest point of the mainland, and is of roughly
oval
  form, 54 M. in length from N.N.E. to S.S.W. and 39 M. in extreme breadth. It lies in a shallow sea, and is quite low, the highest point being 250 ft. above the sea.
Peat
 -bogs and grass lands cover the greater
part
  of the surface; there are several considerable streams and a large number of small lakes. The
island
  is of
recent
 
geological
  formation; it consists almost wholly of disintegrated
sandstone
  or clay (which rises at the north-west into cliffs up to 6o ft. high), with scattered masses of granite. Vegetation is scanty, but bears, foxes and other Arctic animals, geese, swans, &c., provide means of livelihood for a few Samoyed hunters.
