Krasnoyarsk Krai ,Russia located 893 km north of Khatanga. It is an ice airfield used as an alternate field forTu-95 (Bear) bombers in the Arctic. It was built in the late 1950s as a staging base for Soviet bombers to reach the United States, and was maintained by OGA (Arctic Control Group), which was a caretaker agency for strategic facilities in the Arctic.
