Aldan, Mining center in Aldansky District, Russia
The city of Aldan stretches across the Aldan Highlands at an elevation of 650 meters, near substantial deposits of gold and mica minerals.
The settlement emerged in 1923 under the name Nezametny following gold discoveries, and received city status with its current name in 1939.
The local population combines Russian and Sakha traditions, maintaining connections to both cultures through ceremonies, cuisine, and social practices.
The A360 Lena Highway and Aldan Airport provide transportation links, while the city offers essential services including medical facilities and educational institutions.
The Central Aldan ore district produces substantial amounts of gold through both open-pit mining and river dredging operations visible from space.
