How time flows in Salekhard

There is no polar night in the capital of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, but there is another interesting feature that Salekhard has. Time. It flows in a special way. The proximity of the North Pole leaves its mark: when the polar day comes, night disappears in the usual sense.

The polar day lasts for a month: from June to July. At this time, the sun smoothly rolls in a circle above the horizon and does not fall completely beyond it for more than a day, so night does not replace daylight.

Such an unusual picture for the eye creates strange sensations: the body, tired during the day, requires rest, and the mind, not accustomed to giving the command to rest in full light, insists on continuing any action.

An interesting “night” illumination on such days without night appears to the eyes of residents and guests of Salekhard: the sun freezes low, low above the clear horizon, and a bright orange saturated light spreads around for several hours - a real gift for photographers: for interesting photographs with the play of chiaroscuro there is no you have to watch for a long time the short minutes of sunsets and sunrises.

GMT+5 is the time zone in which Salekhard lives. The time is 2 hours ahead of Moscow.

Among the gray polar latitudes, Where blizzards rule the eternal ball, Snow-covered Yamal rises as a hero of legendary pasts!

Harsh region! Stronghold of the Power! You are getting stronger every year. Yamal is a treasure and glory, and the pride of my Motherland!

Your motto is everything for a person! And, ready for new exploits, You solve the problems of the century, Keeping the traditions of your fathers!

Harsh region! Stronghold of the Power! You are getting stronger every year. Yamal is a reliable son and glory, and the pride of my Motherland!

The land of discovery and daring. The imperious call of the endless tundra, Where the lights of Yamal cities argue with the northern lights.

Harsh region! Stronghold of the Power! You are getting stronger every year. Yamal is my love and glory, and the pride of my Motherland!

Heraldry of Salekhard

The official coat of arms of Salekhard is laconic, restrained, and strict. It is based on a French shield common to heraldry. The only symbolic image on the shield is a fox walking with its tail raised up and scarlet eyes; A scarlet tongue peeks out of its mouth.

The color scheme of the coat of arms is as strict as the image itself. Only three colors are used:

• Silver: the background of the shield, the shirtfront on the fox’s chest, its belly, the tips of its paws and tail.
• Black: fox.
• Scarlet (red): tongue and eyes.

The history of the existence of the heraldic sign dates back to 1731, when the coat of arms was granted to Obdorsk by Empress Anna Ioanovna. The image of the fox repeated the symbolism and color scheme of the historical symbol of the Siberian Principality of Obdorsk in the 17th century, with the only difference: in the historical version, the fox held an arrow in its paws.

The image of a fox as a symbol was not chosen by chance: this predatory animal, the silver fox, symbolizes the main occupation of the indigenous peoples of the Urals - hunting.

The sculptural world of Salekhard

The sculptural world of Salekhard is unusual. There are a large number of monuments dedicated to animals that embody the sacred spirits of the indigenous inhabitants of Yamal:

• Near the ferry crossing there is a 10-meter mammoth. More than 40 extinct mammoths have been found in northern Siberia, among them the Yamal mammoths Masha and Lyuba.
• On the embankment of the Shaitanka River there is a six-meter monument to the reindeer - the main wealth of the tundra, a symbol of goodness and immortality.
• The bypass road is crowned with a sculptural composition dedicated to the Siberian Cranes - white Siberian cranes, a sacred bird of the indigenous peoples of the North, bringing happiness to everyone who sees it.
• Near the Polaris cinema there is a small sculpture perched - a dragonfly immortalized in stainless steel.
• In the center of the waiting room at Salekhard airport, tundra swans seem to be trying to take off - a symbol of returning to their native land.
• Near the building of the Arctic Hotel, a bear and a bear cub, carved from granite, represent a 10-ton “Constellation” composition.
• Near the airport, two bears froze on snow-covered ice floes. They support the shield “Coat of Arms of Yamal in a Crown”. This is a vivid image of the connection between people and nature in the Arctic.
• The entrance to Salekhard is marked by a stele of the same name, depicting the inhabitants of the aquatic, celestial and terrestrial spaces of the Arctic coast: seagulls, walruses and bears reflect the natural world of Yamal.

Brief recommendations for those traveling to Salekhard for the first time

Anyone going to Yamal for the first time may find some brief tips useful:

• Aerosols and other mosquito repellents and clothing that is as closed as possible are protection from rampant mosquitoes and annoying midges.
• Waterproof shoes are the best footwear for the swampy tundra.
• The Tundra hospitably opens its arms to everyone, and you need to treat it in such a way as not to hurt it with your presence. Since ancient times, traditional shoes of northern peoples have been made in such a way as not to damage the soil cover, not to harm the northern nature, which generously gifts everyone: deer with moss, people with mushrooms and berries, and sometimes takes centuries to restore strength and natural resources.

Salekhard, Russia, Arctic Circle - a world where nature is strict and majestic, and people are open and hospitable.
