Tiksi North is a noteworthy military airfield in Russia located 41 km north of Tiksi. It is one of several very large airfields that were constructed in the arctic regions around 1960 to handle Russian strategic bomber deployments, but never saw operational use. The remains are still clearly visible from satellite imagery.
