Yamburg (ru|Ямбург) is a rural locality (a settlement) in Nadymsky District of Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug of Russia, 148.5km (92.3miles) north of the Arctic Circle on the Gulf of Ob.[1]
The name of the settlement is derived from the Yamburg gas field,[1] which was discovered in 1969. Yamburg was constructed in the early 1980s as the base of operations for the exploration and development of the gas field. Yamburg is a company town, and the vast majority of its 5,000–6,000 inhabitants are employees of Gazprom.[1] The settlement is well served by transport infrastructure, including an airport, as well as river, motor and railway connections to other points in Russia.[2]
