Snezhnogorsk, Work settlement in Norilsk Urban Okrug, Russia
Located in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Snezhnogorsk stands at 68 degrees north latitude, experiencing both polar days and nights throughout the year.
The settlement emerged in 1963 to house workers involved in constructing the Ust-Khantaika hydroelectric plant, receiving urban status in 1964.
The settlement maintains connections with local indigenous communities while supporting a population primarily focused on industrial and energy production activities.
Transportation to Snezhnogorsk occurs through helicopter services, operating twice weekly between the settlement and the city of Norilsk.
The settlement received its name when the first constructed house became completely covered in snow up to its roof during the building process.
