It’s hard to explain why, but more than 500 people still live in Russia’s northernmost settlement, Dixon. The locals have adapted to a winter almost all year round and 24 hour nights.
Not unnecessarily, this place is called the end of the world. In the north of Krasnoyarsk, on the edge of the Arctic Ocean, the settled community is separated from the larger cities by 500 km through uncivilized tundra.
It is possible to get there only once a week, in good weather, by plane. And entry for outsiders is strictly restricted. Not only newcomers, but also locals must have a special passport to enter the area. This is because the settlement was established on the coast and is considered a state border.

The Dixon settlement is divided by a 1.5 km long strait into an island and a continent. In winter, the strait becomes a road that separates both parts, which can be used for snowmobiling, and in summer, for boating. It is only possible to cross the strait at another time of year by booking a helicopter transfer. As a result, most of the locals rarely leave their settlement.
