Anadyr is the easternmost city in Russia, located just below the Arctic Circle in the permafrost zone. It serves as the starting point for journeys across Chukotka, a peninsula often called "the end of the world." Why does this remote place attract tourists from all over the globe? Holy Trinity Cathedral The world's largest functioning wooden church in the permafrost zone. Construction materials were gathered in Omsk and delivered to Chukotka in containers from Vladivostok. Additionally, eight bells adorned with images of saints were brought from Voronezh. Inside the cathedral, visitors can admire a five-tiered iconostasis decorated with painted and carved icons depicting the Holy Trinity. Chukotka Heritage Museum Center This museum houses an extensive collection of archaeological artifacts, as well as cultural and household items of the local population. Visitors can view rare works of bone carving and photographs of picturesque landscapes from various parts of the region. Many exhibits are interactive, with terminals next to the displays providing additional information about the items. Among the most intriguing exhibits are fragments of trees from a unique forest that existed on Chukotka 55 million years ago. Kainyran Art Gallery An exhibition center showcasing both traditional and non-traditional types of decorative, applied, and fine arts, crafts, and artworks created by the indigenous peoples of Chukotka.
