OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Nagurskoye (ICAO: UODN) (also written as Nagurskoye, or Nagurskaja) is an airfield in Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia located 1350 km north of Murmansk. It is an extremely remote Arctic base. Nagurskoye was built in 1950s as a staging base for Soviet Long Range Aviation bombers to reach the U.S., and was maintained by the Russian Air Force agency OGA (Arctic Control Group), which maintained all Arctic bomber staging facilities. An An-72 (Coaler) cargo plane crashed here on December 23, 1996 while attempting to land, perhaps one of the northernmost plane crashes ever. The airfield is believed to be operational, maintained by Frontier Guards (FSB) and capable of servicing An-26 and An-72 aircraft. Current imagery available in Google Earth suggests the base was at least functional recently, with tracks in the snow clearly visible around the base and its environs.
