Provideniya, Administrative center in Providensky District, Russia
The settlement extends along Komsomolskaya Bay, featuring residential buildings that climb up Portovaya Mountain against the backdrop of Chukotka's coastal landscape.
The Russian government established Provideniya in 1939 as a strategic port to support maritime activities along the Northern Sea Route through the Arctic waters.
The settlement maintains a museum containing artifacts and exhibits that demonstrate the traditions of the local Yupik people and Russian maritime history.
Provideniya Bay Airport connects the settlement to Alaska and other Russian regions, while the seaport handles cargo ships throughout the navigation season.
The settlement sits near the International Date Line, making it one of the easternmost permanent settlements in the Russian Federation across from Alaska.
