Nadym
Nadym (Russian: Нады́м) is a town in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia, situated on the Nadym River. It serves as the administrative center of Nadymsky District, although it is not administratively a part of it. Population: 46,550 (2010 Census preliminary results);[1] 45,943 (2002 Census);[2] 52,586 (1989 Census).[4]
It is served by the Nadym Airport.
The origin of the name is unknown. One of the most likely versions is that it derives from the Nenets word nyaidem, which translates into English as "mossy place".
Nadym was mentioned in Russian chronicles for the first time in 1598 and appeared on the Russian maps in the 18th century. But in the second half of the 19th century the settlement was deserted. In 1968, it was reestablished after the gas deposit "Medvezhye" was discovered nearby a year before. Town status was granted to it on March 9, 1972.
The main enterprise of the town is Nadymgazprom, which makes 40% of the total output of gas production in Russia. There are also several large building companies.
In the school #2 of Nadym is a museum of Tanya Savicheva.
Nadym is the nearest town to the point of greatest eclipse for the solar eclipse of August 1, 2008.
