Omsukchan, Administrative center in Magadan Oblast, Russia
Located 576 kilometers north of Magadan, Omsukchan sits on the western shore of the Sugoy River near the Omsukchan mountain range.
The settlement emerged in 1930 following natural resource discoveries and developed into an urban-type settlement by 1953 during Soviet industrialization initiatives.
The name originates from the Even language word Omchikan, which refers to the marshy terrain characteristics of the surrounding landscape.
Regular flights operate from Omsukchan Airport to Magadan, while a 250-kilometer road connects the settlement to the R504 Kolyma Highway.
The population decreased from nearly 10,000 residents in 1989 to approximately 3,400 in 2023, reflecting changes in regional demographics.
