Hall Island is one of the islands in the Franz Josef Land archipelago in Russia. This island is characterized by its rugged, icy landscape and is part of a remote and largely uninhabited region in the Arctic Ocean. Named after the American explorer Charles Francis Hall, Hall Island features a combination of glaciers, rocky terrains, and sparse vegetation due to its harsh climate. The island, like the rest of the archipelago, is under the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and is situated within the Russian Arctic National Park, which aims to protect the fragile Arctic ecosystem and its unique wildlife.
