The Matochkin Strait is a waterway located in the Russian Arctic, separating the Novaya Zemlya archipelago into two main parts: Severny (Northern) Island to the west and Yuzhny (Southern) Island to the east. The strait connects the Barents Sea to the Kara Sea and serves as an important navigational route in the region. Its waters are characterized by polar conditions, with ice cover occurring for much of the year, making navigation challenging.
