Chokurdakh (Russian: Чокурда́х; Yakut: Чокуурдаах) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) and the administrative center of Allaikhovsky District of the Sakha Republic, Russia, located on the left bank of the Indigirka River, below its confluence with its tributary the Allaikha. As of the 2010 Census, its population was 2,367.[5]

History

It was founded in 1936 as the new administrative center of Allaikhovsky District, which was established in 1931.[citation needed] It served as a river port on the Indigirka, connecting to sea traffic using the Northern Sea Route. Urban-type settlement status was granted to it in 1981.[2]

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, the urban-type settlement of Chokurdakh[1] serves as the administrative center of Allaikhovsky District.[2] As an administrative division, it is incorporated within Allaikhovsky District as the Settlement of Chokurdakh.[2] As a municipal division, the Settlement of Chokurdakh is incorporated within Allaikhovsky Municipal District as Chokurdakh Urban Settlement.[3]

Economy and infrastructure

Chokurdakh is not connected with the outside world by any year-round roads. A winter road follows the Indigirka River upstream when it is frozen, traveling partly along the river ice, leading to Ust-Nera via Belaya Gora and Khonuu.

Chokurdakh is served by the Chokurdakh Airport, one of the most northerly airports in Russia and only usable for about three months each year.

Climate

Chokurdakh has an extreme subarctic climate, bordering on polar. Temperatures have never risen above zero from November through to March.
