The Arctic

The Yamal LNG Project is located in the Arctic. The Arctic is an area of uttermost singularity on Earth. This polar region in the north of the planet encompasses deep-water Arctic basin with shallow marginal seas, islands and the onshore areas of North America, Europe and Asia. This unique land has been a fascination attracting people at all times, despite its harsh weather conditions.

The history of Arctic development is one of many generations of trailblazing pioneers, who invested colossal efforts studying and discovering it.  Russian Arctic boasts large and modern cities such as Salekhard, Murmansk, Norilsk – and major industrial companies have taken root here.

The territory of the Arctic occupies approximately one-sixth of the Earth’s surface area.

Nature in the Arctic is without equal and rich in contrasts – endless expanses of ice and snow turn into prodigal abundances of wildflowers and berries that confound the imagination.  It is a natural habitat for polar bears, reindeer, rare birds, animals, and valuable species of fish.
