Igarka, located beyond the Arctic Circle in the Turukhansky district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, can be considered a city by a stretch. Its population is slightly more than 4.3 thousand people. And during the Soviet Union, it was almost four times larger.
Then, mainly by the hands of political scientists, the military and a small number of enthusiasts, Igarka was built up. The distance from Igarka to Krasnoyarsk is 1,330 km. in a straight line or 1800 km. along the Yenisei River.
The economy of Igarka
In the city were built: a ship repair yard; a fish processing plant; several woodworking enterprises. The timber trade brought tangible income. The timber was floated along the Yenisei, processed and exported abroad. There was once a polar theater in Igarka. The city continues to live due to the fact that there are two ports in it. There is an airport in the city.
Ships from the Yenisei Bay enter the seaport. But there are very few of them, the port does not bring income. The port buildings, which have not seen repair for a long time, are being destroyed, foreshadowing its imminent closure.
Cargo and workers are transported to remote oil fields through the airport. The nearest oil and gas field, Vankorskoye, is located 130 km from Igarka. Two hydroelectric power plants are located slightly closer to the city: Ust-Khantayskaya 80 km away and Kureyskaya 90 km away.
In Igarka, with an absolute minimum of winter temperatures exceeding minus 60, it is quite difficult to conduct economic activities. The city belongs to the regions of the Far North in the permafrost zone.
