This should be the spot where once 'Het Behouden Huys' was located, which was build by people from the expedition of Dutch polar discoverer Willem Barentsz in 1596.

Since then it has been visited by many expeditions and been reduced to rubble. A monument for the trip was recently placed at Mys Zhelaniya further north (it was forbidden by the Russian authories to place it anywhere else).
