Tiksi Travel Guide
Russia
Tiksi is a small Arctic settlement in Russia, with a population of around 5,700. It lies on the Laptev Sea in the far north-east of the country and operates on Yakutsk Time.
Travellers arriving by air use Tiksi Airport (IKS), the airport serving the settlement. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so Tiksi is better suited to visitors interested in its remote Arctic setting than to a conventional beach holiday.
