NYR is the airport code for Nyurba Airport, serving Nyurba, a town in the Sakha Republic, also known as Yakutia, in the Russian Far East. Nyurba stands on the Vilyuy River, a tributary of the Lena, hundreds of kilometres northwest of Yakutsk, the regional capital, in a vast, remote land of taiga forest, rivers and extreme cold. The town grew from the 1950s as a base for the diamond industry that Yakutia is famous for, and remains a centre for diamond mining and processing. It is a working northern town in one of the coldest inhabited parts of the world, rather than a tourist destination. Because travel to Russia is affected by the current situation, travelers should check their government's current advice. Nyurba is reached by flights from Yakutsk and other points, and by river and winter roads. The climate is subarctic, with brief summers and extremely cold winters.
