Anadyr is a small city located in the far northeastern part of Russia, serving as the administrative center of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. It lies on the banks of the Anadyr River, near the Bering Sea, and is known for its harsh Arctic climate, with long, cold winters and short, cool summers. The city has a population of around 14,000 residents and is primarily accessible by air and sea. Founded in the 17th century, Anadyr has a rich history tied to Russian exploration and settlement in the region. The city is also a hub for the indigenous Chukchi people, who have lived in the area for thousands of years. Today, Anadyr serves as a base for various economic activities, including fishing and mining, and is a gateway for travelers exploring the remote landscapes of Chukotka.
