Iultinsky District
Iultinsky District ((ロシア語:Иу́льтинский райо́н); Chukchi: ) is an administrative〔Law #33-OZ〕 and municipal〔Law #149-OZ〕 district (raion), one of the six in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia. It is located in the northeast of the autonomous okrug and borders with the Chukchi Sea in the north, Providensky District in the east, Gulf of Anadyr in the southeast, and with Anadyrsky District in the southwest. The area of the district is .〔Official website of Iultinsky District. (About the district ) 〕 Its administrative center is the urban locality (an urban-type settlement) of Egvekinot.〔 Population: The population of Egvekinot accounts for 64.4% of the district's total population.〔
The territory of the modern district has been populated since the Paleolithic age, though indigenous people are outnumbered by ethnic Russians by over three to one. The district was once a major center for mining tin and tungsten at Iultin, with the infrastructure built by gulag prisoners, but these mines have proved uneconomical in recent years and closed with their associated settlements abandoned.
==Geography==
Iultinsky District covers the northeastern part of the Chukchi Peninsula, except for its easternmost part, and touches two oceans. In the north, the district borders the Chukchi Sea, a bleak environment that is ice-bound for nine months of the year and where storms can produce waves several meters high lashing the coast.〔Fute, pp. 122ff〕 To the south is the administrative center and small port of Egvekinot, located on the Kresta Bay. To the south of the Kresta Bay it reaches almost to the Anadyrsky Liman.
The central part of the district is quite mountainous. The northwest is drained by the Amguema River. This valley is a key resource for the part of the population that does not live by the sea and contains the only significant stretch of road in the district, running from Egvekinot, through the indigenous locality of Amguema, to the now defunct mining settlement of Iultin near the Arctic.〔Norwegian Polar Institute. (Indigenous Peoples of the north of the Russian Federation, Map 3.6 )〕 Other populated places in the district are only reachable either by sea or by helicopter.
