Brady Island (Russian : Остров Брейди; Ostrov Bryeydi) is an island in Franz Josef Land, Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia.
The island has a maximum altitude of 381 m (1,250 ft). Between its northernmost point, Cape Wiese (Russian: мыс Визе), and its southernmost point, Cape Krasovsky (Russian: мыс Красовского), it is about 7 km (4 mi) in length. Located in the central part of the archipelago, it lies 8 km (5 mi) west of McClintock Island, separated by the Aberdare Strait (Russian: пролив Абердэр). Brice, Bliss, and Leigh-Smith Island are located to the north and west of Brady Island, beyond the Sidorov Strait (Russian: пролив Сидорова). [1]
The island was discovered by Benjamin Leigh Smith in 1880. It is most likely named after Henry Bowman Brady, a zoologist who examined collections from both the Austro-Hungarian North Pole expedition and Albert Hastings Markham’s expedition in 1879. [2] : 18 The expedition also gave the name Cape Speelman to what is now Cape Krasovsky, after Jhr. M. H. Speelman (1852–1907), a lieutenant on the Dutch Arctic expeditions 1878–1879. The current name was given in 1950, in honour of Russian scientist Feodosy Krasovsky. [2] : 20
