Pevek

Pevek ( _ru. Певек) is a town in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia, situated by the coast of the Chaunskaya Inlet of the East Siberian Sea. Pevek is the northernmost town in Russia. It is located beyond the Arctic Circle. It was founded in 1933, and received a town status in 1967. The town is a large port at the Northern Sea Route. Population: ru-census|p02=5206|p89=12915

During the 1990s, after the breakup of the USSR, commercial navigation in the Arctic went into decline. More or less regular shipping is presently to be found only from Murmansk to Dudinka in the west and between Vladivostok and Pevek in the east. Ports between Dudinka and Pevek see next to no shipping at all.

The Routan Islands lie off Pevek Bay very close to the coast.
