Belushya Guba (Template:Lang-ru[5], Belush’ya Guba[6] or just Belushye[7]) is a village in Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia, located in the southwestern portion of the Southern Island of the Novaya Zemlya arctic archipelago.

It is the main permanent settlement and the administrative center of the island territory of Novaya Zemlya. It lies around 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) southwest of the Rogachevo airbase. A large proportion of its population is made up of military personnel associated with the nuclear test sites located on the island.

History

Upon visiting Novaya Zemlya in 1894, Arkhangelsk Governor Engelhard decided to create a new encampment. In 1896, an expedition conducted a survey of the west coast of Novaya Zemlya. The following year Belushya Guba was founded.

The settlement started to flourish in 1954, when Novaya Zemlya became established as a nuclear test site

Geography and climate

Belushya Guba is located in a deep bay, within a geographical area that is influenced by warm ocean currents. The natural conditions allow year-round sailing of all types and classes of vessels with minimal cost for icebreaking support. The bay is well protected from high surf and drifting ice.[8]

The area of the southern island of Novaya Zemlya experiences from 8 to 10 cyclones per month during the winter, with the main direction of the cyclone trajectories from the west and south-west to north-east.[9]


The area of the southern island of Novaya Zemlya experiences from 8 to 10 cyclones per month during the winter, with the main direction of the cyclone trajectories from the west and south-west to north-east.[10]

Economy

Belushya Guba has schools, apartment buildings, 3 hotels, shops, a television station, a 200-bed Naval Hospital, a polyclinic, military officers' center with a base sailor's club, 25-meter pool, recreational center, and an Orthodox church.[11]

In the long term, Belushya Bay may become an important transport hub. There is currently a construction project for a major oil port, for the transshipment of oil, as well as a plan for a facility to produce liquefied natural gas from fields in the Yamal Peninsula. In developing the nearby manganese and polymetallic deposits, the port will also handle ore shipments. It is expected that the prospective port will reduce the cost of hydrocarbon shipments[12]

Transportation

There are two regular flights weekly from Arkhangelsk to Rogachevo airport, located 9 km north-east of the settlement. Ship navigation is possible from July to September.
