Abstract—Resulting from the surveys in the Blagopoluchiya and Techenii bays at the Novaya Zemlya Archi-
pelago during cruise 54 of the R/V Akademik Mstislav Keldysh in September of 2007, it was shown that the
waters supplied from the archipelago coasts contained considerable amounts of dissolved nitrogen and phos-
phorus. The pH values and total alkalinities were also considerably increased. The laboratory experiments con-
firmed that the rocks forming the coasts of the surveyed bays might be sources of nitrogen and phosphorus. The
effect of the Novaya Zemlya runoff upon the hydrochemical structure of the upper 10-m layer of the seawaters
was traced for 16–20 km from the coast during the period of the surveys.
