Seymchan

Seymchan is best known in Magadan Oblast as the administrative centre of Srednekansky District. It stands where the Seymchan River meets the Kolyma, deep in northeastern Siberia’s Kolyma basin. The settlement’s airfield was a stop on the Alaska–Siberia, or ALSIB, route used to ferry American Lend-Lease aircraft to the Soviet Union during the Second World War. Today, Seymchan remains an important service centre for this sparsely populated inland district, shaped by long winters, river transport and remote-road connections.
