Labytnangi, whose webcams can be viewed online on this site, is a small and, by historical standards, young town, which is located on the eastern slopes of the Ural Mountains.
This is one of the most popular and easily accessible travel destinations in the Arctic. There are relatively few attractions here. But this is compensated by the stunning nature and the opportunity to see the most magical phenomenon - the aurora borealis.
You can get here by any means of transport. However, car traffic will be restricted. After all, the city is located in places remote from civilization. There are no major highways leading from the main Russian settlements.
The most common way to get to Labytnangi is by rail. It is here that the Transpolar Highway leads from Chum, which was built at the end of the Stalin era. Trains run to Labytnangi from Moscow, Vorkuta, Anapa, Rostov-on-Don, Voronezh, Ryazan and other cities in the central and southern parts of the country. However, many of these destinations only open during the summer season.
Also in the summer you can get to Labytnangi along the Ob, along the banks of which the city lies.
So, in the summer months there are routes Omsk-Salekhard, on which two motor ships run. Travel time will take about 6 days. The cost varies based on the comfort of the cabin. Upon arrival from Salekhard to Labytnanga, you will need to get across the Ob by ferry, since these settlements are located on opposite banks.
The places where Labytnangi is located are characterized by a harsh winter, when the thermometer is stable at 30 degrees below zero. In addition to low temperatures, strong winds often blow in this area, intensifying by February. That is why the spring months are the best time to travel.
In the spring in Labytnangi, the weather is typical for winter time in the central regions of Russia. Also at this time there are a large number of clear, sunny days. It is important, however, to take into account that in May the weather becomes unpredictable. Therefore, if it was not possible to get to Labytnangi in March and April, it is better to postpone the trip until June. During the summer period, including the beginning of September, the weather in these latitudes will be quite comfortable. Also in the summer in Labytnangi you can enjoy the white nights. And in September - bright autumn colors. Snow in Labytnangi begins to fall in October.
If, for now, it is not possible to go to the far Arctic, Labytnanga webcams will allow you to enjoy an amazing journey in virtual mode.
