Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District

Located in northern Krasnoyarsk Krai, this district spans 897,900 square kilometers and extends above the Arctic Circle on the Taymyr Peninsula.

The district emerged from Taymyr Autonomous Okrug in 2007, marking a significant administrative restructuring within the Russian Federation's territorial organization.

Indigenous Siberians, including Dolgans, Nenets, Nganasans, Evenks, and Enets peoples, maintain their traditional practices alongside the Russian population in this northern territory.

Access to the district occurs primarily through Dudinka, the administrative center, which connects to other regions via river routes and air transportation.

The district contains the Popigai astrobleme with its distinctive variegated rocks, representing a geological formation of scientific interest in the Arctic region.
