Tiksi, Port settlement in Bulunsky District, Sakha Republic, Russia
Located on the shore of Buor-Khaya Gulf of the Laptev Sea, Tiksi functions as the administrative center of the Bulunsky District at 71 degrees north latitude.
The settlement emerged in 1933 during Soviet development of northern territories, receiving urban-type status in 1939 to support maritime activities along the Northern Sea Route.
The settlement incorporates elements of Yakut traditions and Russian Arctic development, reflecting the intersection of indigenous Siberian and modern northern communities.
The settlement maintains essential infrastructure including a port, airport, and helicopter services, operating under extreme temperature conditions that can drop below minus 50 degrees Celsius.
