There was also Sannikov Land https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sannikov_Land https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sannikov_Land - a ghost island in the Arctic Ocean, claimed to be seen in 19 century by Russian explorer Sannikov. A few expeditions to find it were organised by baron von Toll, who eventually died there.
There were attempts to find the land in Soviet time (1930s) with no results.
Russian geologist Vladimir Obruchev wrote a pretty entertaining fiction novel “Sannikov Land”, where he described the land populated by dinosaurs and Onkilons, ancient Siberian humans.

- trhway 7y agowhile Sannikov Land is a fiction, giving the mammoth remnants findings in the permafrost in Siberia and that the last mammoth died just 4000 years ago on an inland north of Eastern Siberia - the Wrangel Island - one can see how it could have been possible for some related legends/myths to be created long time ago and to survive/mutate into the modern time.
