Reading
Task 4. Read the text and do the following tasks.
Our region - Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District (YANAO in Russian) - is located in the world's largest West Siberian Plain, just northeast of the geographic border between Europe and Asia above the Arctic Circle. It is one of the fourth autonomous districts of the Russian Federation and ranks 4th place (among 85 Federal Unities) in terms of economic stability after Moscow, St. Petersburg and Khanty-Mansiysk District (according 2020). The Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District is a part of the Tyumen Region and belongs to the West Siberian Federal District. About 50% of the territory of the district is located beyond the Arctic Circle. Therefore, the characteristic nature feature of our district is the presence of permafrost. The thickness of the frozen ground reaches its maximum in the point of 450 m, approaching 500 m in the eastern part of the Gydan Peninsula. In 2014 the first large crater appeared near Bovanenkovo gas field.
The territory of the district includes three large peninsulas: Yamal, Tazovsky and Gadynsky, as well as a group of islands on the shelf of the Kara Sea: Bely, Litke, Sharapov Cats, Oleniy and others. In the west, the district includes a significant part of the Polar Urals.
The entire area of Yamal is replete with swamps, lakes and rivers. There are more than 300 thousand lakes in the district (?) The largest of them are: Vorchaty, Pyakuto, Yarato, Nembuto, Chertovy Lakes, Chaselskoye, Seymuto and others. The most beautiful lake is the Big Pike (Bolshoe Tchuchye). There are about 48 thousand rivers in the district.
On the territory of the district flows one of the largest rivers in Russia - the Ob. It flows into the Ob Bay - the desalinated bay of the Kara Sea. It is one of the largest estuaries in the world with the length of about 800 km, with the width of 30-90 km. The other large and navigable rivers of Yamal are Pur, Taz, Nadym, Shchuchya, Sob, Longot-ugan, Messoyakha.
Our district territory occupies the extreme north-west of Asia. The Arctic Ocean is bound by ice and has the strong impact to the climate. From north to south, the tundra zone, which occupies more than 75% of the territory, is replaced by forest tundra and taiga.
The area of the district exceeds the territory of any European state and is more than 750,000 km2, with the population density of only 0.7 people per km2. Among 85 Federation Unities (according to 2021) the Yamal Nenets Autonomous District occupies the 7th place in terms of area, and among the autonomous districts-the 3rd place.
In the west, Yamal borders with the Republic of Komi and the Nenets Autonomous District (Arkhangelsk Region), in the east - with the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Taimyr (Dolgan-Nenets) Autonomous District, in the south - with the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District, and in the north it is washed by the waters of the Kara Sea, where the 900-kilometer section of the state border of the Russian Federation passes.
The northernmost Yamal point is located at the northern extremity of the Yamal Peninsula, about 7 km east of Skuratov Cape. This is 695 km north of the Arctic Circle. Even deeper into the Arctic are the islands of the Kara Sea that are part of the district - White (Bely), Vilkitsky, Reindeer (Oleniy).
The southernmost Yamal point is at the source of the Etypur River (Pur River basin).
The population of our District is 540 thousand people (according 2021). The share of the urban population is constantly growing, about 85%, and the rural population is 15%. The capital of the District is Salekhard, located in the Arctic Circle. It is the small city with the population of 30 thousand people. Until 1932, Salekhard was called Obdorsk and was the prisoners' settlement center. Yamal is the historical homeland of the Far North tribes - the Nenets, the Khanty, the Mansi and the Selkup. The share of indigenous people is 6.7%, (48,932 people - according to 2020) about 14 thousand residents lead a nomadic lifestyle.
Currently, the territory of the district is divided into 7 administrative districts: Krasnoselkupsky, Nadymsky, Priuralsky, Purovsky, Tazovsky, Shuryshkarsky and Yamal. There are 7 cities of district subordination, they are Salekhard, Gubkinsky, Labytnangi, Nadym, Muravlenko, Noyabrsk and Novy Urengoy, as well as 8 workers' settlements and 103 rural settlements.
According to the special government decree the entire territory of our District is called the Extreme North and we have particular work and social rights. For example, we have special benefits in the form of monthly salary allowances, additional vacations, benefits when calculating pensions.
