Summary:The paper presents the results of research on the possible development of extreme tourism in the archipelago of Novaya Zemlya. The authors suggestb their own definition of the term ‘extreme tourism’ as an independent type of tourism, since in is impossible to classify the tour as an extreme one within the classifications that had been intro¬duced by other authors.

All this leads to the conclusion that Novaya Zemlya is a perspective direction for the develop¬ment of extreme tourism.
