It looks to be a lake at the bottom of there, so that's probably erosion marks of some kind. The one image I could find from the perspective of the a visitor shows sings that look like miniature fjords ending in places that are mostly below water, so millennia of erosion seems like a good enough explanation to me.

Wikipedia to the rescue:

The central plain of Faddeyevsky Island has been highly altered by thermokarst processes. It contains numerous deep erosive cuts created by the seasonal melting of the permafrost. Numerous baydzharakhs, thermokarst mounds, dot the landscape; they are the result of the melting of polygonal ice wedges within the permafrost.

Then again, I wouldn't rule out investiture either ... :)
