Geography

The city is located on the Taymyr peninsula and near the mouth of the Khatanga River, [1] [4] in what was once an okrug but is now a district. It is in the far arctic north of Krasnoyarsk Krai, where indigenous people, such as Nenets, live in the northern taiga, tree line, and tundra eco-regions. [5] The scenery is open tundra, as far as the eye can see. [1]

Climate

Though this town is well within the arctic tundra ecoregion (~73 N), [4] its climate is Dfc (taiga), with long, cold winters and short summers. The average high in July is 62 F (17 C), and the average lows in January and February are the same, at -27 F (-33 C). This climate shows extreme continentality (especially for its location a few hundred miles from the Laptev Sea), not as harsh as in places further east (Yakutsk, for example), but more similar to Noril'sk or Kuujjuaq (in Nunavik, Quebec, Canada) but much colder in winter than places like Kiruna or Rovaniemi, which, though somewhat continental, being in Sapmi, are still moderated by the Gulf Stream.

Snow, on average, occurs 128 days a year. Rain peaks in summer, when it becomes just under 5 times as frequent as in late autumn and winter; however, the climate does not qualify for a Dwc, as the precipitation in summer must be at least 10 times as high as in winter. [6]

Demographics

This city is mainly the following three ethnicities: partly Dolgan, partly Nganasan, and partly Russian. Some representatives of other nationalities also exist. [1]

Education

There are schools in Novorybnaya: a kindergarten and a secondary (high) school. Kids play sports (football), outside for most of the year, even in the severe winter cold that characterizes the area. [1]

Events are held at the schools, such as competitions, theme nights, and activities. [1]

Traditions

Nomadic people travel to the village to see family, or by necessity, to get food or medicine. Reindeer herding is a tradition of Nenet people, and even features a holiday in the area: "Day of Reindeer". [1]

There is a church in Khatanga, near Novorybnaya: Svyto-Bogoyavlenskiy, the northernmost Orthodox fane in the world. This church was built in 1705. [8]

The city of Khatanga is a major business, cultural and scientific center for East Taimyr and for Russia as a whole. [8] Novorybnaya specifically is populated by artisans; people make ivory carvings, embroideries and clothes. They also exhibit literary talents. [1]

Agriculture is practiced in Novorybnaya and the area around it, even when the cold northern climate is taken into account. Some of the people of this area also work as fishers. [1]

Notable people

According to the people of the village, Anna Petrovna was born during a time when birth records were not kept meticulously in the far north (northern Canada, Greenland, most of Siberia, islands in the Arctic Ocean) and is well over a century old, even though she age-listed as around 100. [1]
