The Izvestiy TSIK Islands, also called the Izvestia Islands, are a group of four islands in the Kara Sea off the coast of Siberia, part of Russia's Krasnoyarsk Krai. Covering about 200 square kilometers with a highest point of 42 meters, the islands are covered in tundra vegetation, shingle, and ice, and lie within Russia's Great Arctic State Nature Reserve. The largest island, Troynoy, stretches 27 kilometers in length, and the group is uninhabited.
