View of the Lena River. Webcams Lensk

Live webcam is located in the city of Lensk (Republic of Sakha, Yakutia).

The lens captures the Lena River embankment and the water area itself. The device looks towards the southwest, upstream of the reservoir. The broadcast is transmitted in real time.

Lensk, whose webcams can be viewed online on this site, is an unremarkable Yakut town.

However, he is known not only throughout the country, but also abroad. This is because it was in this city that the largest flood in the history of Russia occurred, which literally wiped the city off the face of the earth. It happened in 2001, when a powerful freeze-up set in motion due to a sharp warming and heavy rainfall. Streams of water, along with giant ice blocks, poured into the streets of Lensk from the river of the same name, on which it was built, and destroyed more than 90% of the buildings.
The city was restored. But there were very few sights in it. Although, travelers who visit this city are attracted not so much by cultural sites and architectural beauties as by the noble taiga nature surrounding these places.

The key and most visited object of Lensk, whose webcams can be viewed in real time, is the city embankment.

It was completely rebuilt after the flood, equipped with dams and special flood protection structures. Sluices have been installed along the entire 3-kilometer length of the embankment to dump excess water.
Stunning views open from the embankment, and a cozy promenade will give a lot of pleasant emotions. Along it, facing the shore, five nine-story apartment buildings rise. Letters flaunt on their roof, which together form the name of the city. Near the embankment rises a beautiful monument dedicated to the transport workers - the pioneers who develop the Yakut lands. It's called "Troika". It was from these places that the construction of Mirny began in the 1950s, and later the development of diamond deposits began. In Lensk at that time there was a gigantic car fleet, which included about 1000 vehicles and about 1.5 thousand employees, providing diamond mining complexes, the construction of the Vilyui hydroelectric power station and several industrial settlements. It was from that period that Lensk earned the honorary title of "Gate of the Diamond Land".
By the way, from the embankment you can quickly get to the river port, against which you can take interesting photos. It is noteworthy that it is water transport that is dominant, both in Lensk itself and in the region. The port of Lensk plays an important role in the acceptance and processing of all kinds of cargo arriving in these places.

If, for now, a trip to Yakutia is not possible, Lensk webcams will allow you to open any borders and enjoy the trip online.
