Russia's northernmost military airfield on Franz Josef Land.

Location
Alexandra Land, Russia
Nagurskoye Airfield is a Russian military airfield located on Alexandra Land, one of the islands of the Franz Josef Land archipelago in the High Arctic. It serves as a key strategic installation for the Russian Armed Forces, supporting Arctic operations and sovereignty patrols in one of the world's most remote regions. The airfield was significantly renovated and modernized beginning around 2015 as part of Russia's broader push to rebuild and expand its Arctic military presence. It is capable of hosting large aircraft, including long-range bombers and transport planes, and forms part of the Nagurskoye military base complex known as the Arctic Trefoil. The facility operates under extreme environmental conditions, with temperatures far below freezing for much of the year.
