You can watch Labytnangi webcams online on this site to see a small town located in the lower reaches of the river. Ob. The settlement is located in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. From the local language, the name is translated as "seven larches". The first settlement appeared here in the 19th century. At the same time, rapid development began in 1932, when a collective farm was formed. In it, the inhabitants were engaged in fishing, reindeer herding and hunting. Ten years later, a railway station was built, and in 1952 a workers' settlement was created on the site of the collective farm. In the 60s of the last century, new gas fields began to be developed on its territory. The settlement received city status in 1975.

Labytnangi is located in the east of the Ural Mountains, therefore it is considered one of the most accessible and large cities in the Arctic.

You can get here by any means of transport, except for the car. No highway leads to this city. But you can get there by train, water transport along the Ob, as well as by air, because. it is served by Salekhard Airport. Since the capital of the district and Labytnangi are located on different banks of the river, they are connected by a ferry. In winter, when the Ob River freezes, you can get from one point to another on all-terrain vehicles on ice, or by helicopter.
The city is located in two climatic zones - temperate and subarctic. Therefore, the area is characterized by a harsh climate with long and cold winters, and, accordingly, short cool summers. In winter, the temperature is -23.9°C, and in summer it does not exceed +14.8°C. Due to the low humidity, low temperatures are more easily tolerated. At the same time, strong winds can complicate the weather. The first snow usually falls already in October, so from this month the temperature is below zero.
Since Labytnangi is located almost on the Arctic Circle, there is a polar day here, when the sun does not completely hide behind the horizon. This phenomenon here lasts only 1 day. At the same time, there is no polar night here, because. the duration of the shortest day is more than 3 hours, which is not enough to fix this phenomenon.
Tourists are recommended to come here in March-April, because. during these months it is already much warmer than in winter, the sun often shines and in general you can feel comfortable. You can also come in the summer, despite the fact that it is cool here. But at this time there is no snow and you can see the white nights.

Labytnangi webcams allow you to watch online and walk along the streets of this small polar town.

It is not spoiled by tourists, and there are not so many attractions here. Among the few monuments, one can single out the entrance area for recreation called the Gates of Yamal. The facility was built in 2017. It symbolizes labor history and modernity.
If you come here in the spring, then you should visit the Oktyabrsky ski complex. It was opened in 2003. The infrastructure includes a 620 m track with a vertical drop of 110 m and an average slope of 16°. There is also a drag lift, equipment rental, a small hotel complex, a swimming pool and a sauna.
Of course, to get to know this northern town better, you need to visit the local history museum. It was opened in these parts in 1995. A local resident throughout her life collected a collection of traditional clothes, household items and other things. These exhibits formed the basis of the first exposition. The very first item in the collection was a list of members of the Pechora-Ob bypass in 1913. Now the local museum presents several expositions: ethnographic collections, minerals, objects of arts and crafts. In addition to permanent exhibitions, temporary ones are also held.

Of particular interest is the permanent exhibition "The History of the Seven Larch Trees", which tells about the origin of the settlement and its development.

The very first exhibit of the exhibition is a “sacrificial place”, which was created and installed by the Khanty on the bank of the river. Vyl-Posl not far from these famous larches. This place has long been considered the main reference point for fishermen, hunters and people visiting the reindeer herders fair. Also in the museum there are stylized dwellings (chums and huts) of the Khanty and Komi-Zyryan peoples, which contain kitchen utensils, tools, clothes and other antiques. Now the local history museum has about 7,000 exhibits.
Since there is no tourist infrastructure in the city, you can safely stay in the nearby Salekhard. Given the connection of cities by ferry, this is quite a good alternative. In the capital of the district, you can even try traditional dishes of the northern peoples: stroganina from local fish, venison, bear meat and other delicacies.
