Tiksi’s population peaked in 1989 at 11,649, and in 2023 stood at 4,440. The construction of the Tiksi seaport and the village next to it was started as part of the exploration and development of the Northern Sea Route and the Lena River basin in 1933. During the Cold War and to this day, a military airfield operates in Tiksi. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Tiksi’s population has declined markedly and many of its apartment blocks have been abandoned. Tiksi has a tundra climate. Winter averages (−30 °C) and extremes(−50 °C) are less severe than the subarctic region further south, but the winter length is longer courtesy of the higher latitude. The very short summers are generally cooler ( 9 °C) than inland regions and see rainfall on most days. The polar night lasts from November 19 to January 24, and the period with continuous daylight, the midnight sun, lasts a bit longer, from May 11 to August 3. The growing season in Tiksi lasts for 74 days usually from around June 23 to September 5. music - Purple Crow & Scott Lawlor - Void transmission - Final signal, Out of Hell - Lovecraft’s Death, Out of Hell - The Call of Wings, Out of Hell - The Way of the Left Hand, if you want to use this music, please contact the authors - , , , cameras: gopro 10, panasonic g7 olympus 17 mm f/1.8, panasonic 45-150 mm f/4-5.6, sony zv-e10 samyang 12 mm f/2.0 mf, flashlight - armytek wizard c2 pro max, march 2024
