Kotelny Island (Russian: Остров Котельный) and Faddeyevsky Island (О. Фаддеевский) formed as separate islands in the New Siberian Islands group of the eastern RussianArctic. Over the millennia a sandy accretion, which has been designated as Bunge Land (Бунге Земля), has built up between them forming a single geographical island, one of the 50 largest islands in the world.
