Anadyr

Anadyr combines the administrative energy of Chukotka’s capital with an exposed Far Eastern setting in a way that reflects its position on the Anadyr Estuary, near the Bering Sea. On the estuary’s western shore, the city faces a wide tidal expanse and is separated by water from Ugolny Airport. Founded in 1889 as Novo-Mariinsk, it was renamed Anadyr in 1923. Brightly painted apartment blocks add conspicuous colour during the long subarctic winter, while the Chukotka Heritage Museum presents the region’s Indigenous traditions, including those of Chukchi and Yupik peoples.
