About this directory & its sources
This edition contains 98 named-island records, including 12 featured profiles. It is a partial reference directory, not a census of every island in Franz Josef Land. Small unnamed islands and grouped gazetteer entries are not included. Northbrook is retained as a historical place-name record; its profile explains the separation into two islands.
Names and WGS84 reference locations are adapted from GeoNames, licensed under CC BY 4.0, downloaded 29 September 2026. Display names, record selection, and browsing regions have been edited. Featured profiles add sourced summaries and measurements; each record links to its references. Alternate names may be historical or refer to earlier interpretations of island boundaries.
Browsing regions use reference coordinates: Northern ≥81° N; otherwise Western <52° E; otherwise Eastern ≥60° E; otherwise Southern <80.4° N; the remainder is Central. These are editorial filters, not formal geographic divisions.
Areas and highest elevations are approximate. “Not recorded” means this directory has no sourced value; it does not mean zero. The gazetteer’s terrain elevation is never treated as an island’s highest point. Ice coverage and wildlife are not inferred.
Locator outlines are adapted from Natural Earth 1:10m land data (public domain). Tiny islands may be absent from this generalized outline. Dots are reference points, not boundaries. Dataset provenance and conservative exclusions are documented in the plugin’s SOURCES.md.
