Chukotka

Chukotka is a remote region in northeastern Russia, bordering the Arctic Ocean. It covers a vast area known for its harsh climate, with cold temperatures and long winters. The region is sparsely populated, mainly by indigenous peoples like the Chukchi and Yupik, who traditionally rely on hunting, fishing, and reindeer herding. Chukotka has rich natural resources, including minerals and seafood, but its remoteness limits development. Despite challenging conditions, it features unique Arctic ecosystems, indigenous cultures, and historical significance as a gateway between Asia and North America.
