NYM is the airport code for Nadym, a town in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug in the Russian Arctic, on the Nadym River in the far north of western Siberia. It is above all a natural-gas town: it grew from the late 1960s as a base for developing the huge Medvezhye gas field, and the wider region is one of the largest gas-producing areas in the world, supplying much of Russia's output. Nadym sits on flat terrain where the northern taiga forests give way to open tundra, in the traditional lands of the Indigenous Nenets people, reindeer herders of the Arctic. This is a remote industrial town rather than a tourist destination, with a harsh climate of long, extremely cold winters and short summers. It is reached by air to Nadym Airport and by the region's limited road and rail links.

Frequently asked questions
Where is Nadym?
Nadym is a town in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug in the Russian Arctic, on the Nadym River in the far north of western Siberia, about 290 kilometres east-southeast of the regional capital, Salekhard. It lies where northern forests give way to open tundra, in a remote, cold and sparsely populated part of the country.
What is Nadym known for?
Nadym is known as a natural-gas town. It grew from the late 1960s to support the huge Medvezhye gas field, and the surrounding Yamalo-Nenets region is one of the world's largest gas-producing areas, central to Russia's energy industry. It is an industrial base rather than a tourist destination.
How do you get to Nadym?
Nadym is reached by air to its local airport and by the region's limited road and rail connections, which are shaped by the harsh Arctic environment. Travel is heavily tied to the energy industry, and the extreme winter climate affects transport, so any trip needs careful planning and appropriate preparation.
Is Nadym a tourist destination?
Not really. Nadym is a remote Arctic industrial town centred on the gas industry, with a very cold climate and few conventional tourist attractions. Its interest lies in the surrounding tundra landscape and the culture of the Indigenous Nenets reindeer herders, but visits are unusual and require planning rather than casual travel.
