Cape Chelyuskin

Cape Chelyuskin is the northernmost point of the Eurasian continent, lying at the northernmost tip of the Taimyr peninsula, south of Severnaya Zemlya. It lies in central Russia and is named for Semion Chelyuskin, one of the first people to sail to it, in May 1742. A hydrometeorological observatory was established at the cape in 1989.
