Egvekinot, Northern port settlement in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia.
The settlement occupies a coastal position along Kresta Bay of the Bering Sea, surrounded by mountains reaching heights of 800 meters.
Established in 1946 as a port facility, Egvekinot supported the operations of the Iultin Mining Complex, which extracted valuable tin and tungsten deposits.
The settlement maintains connections to its mining heritage through the local museum, which displays archaeological artifacts and documents the region's industrial past.
Transportation access includes regular flights from Anadyr airport, with occasional service disruptions during spring due to runway flooding from melting snow.
Located near the 180th meridian, the settlement experiences extreme variations in daylight hours, with periods of complete darkness in winter and constant light in summer.
