In the 1990s there was an area of about 10 hectares (25 acres) at the northern end of the island that was unglaciated. Victoria Island has a surface area of 10.8 km 2 (4.2 sq mi) and was formerly almost completely covered by an ice cap where the highest point reached 105 m (344 ft) above sea level. The Northwestern cape is known as Cape Knipovich ( Russian: Мыс Книповича Mys Knipovicha). The maximum height of Victoria Island is 105 m (344 ft).
