Aldan (Шаблон:Lang-rus; Шаблон:Lang-sah) is a gold-mining town and the administrative center of Aldansky District of the Sakha Republic, Russia, located in the Aldan Highlands, in the Aldan River basin, on the stream Orto-Sala near its mouth in the Seligdar River, about Шаблон:Convert south of the republic's capital of Yakutsk. As of the 2010 Census, its population was 21,275.[1]

History

It was founded in 1923[2] as Nezametny (Шаблон:Lang), after discovery of rich gold deposits. It was granted town status and renamed in 1939.Шаблон:Citation needed During World War II, an airfield was built here for the Alaska-Siberian (ALSIB) air route used to ferry American Lend-Lease aircraft to the Eastern Front.[3]

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Aldan serves as the administrative center of Aldansky District.[4] As an inhabited locality, Aldan is classified as a town under district jurisdiction.[4] As an administrative division, it is, together with two rural localities, incorporated within Aldansky District as the Town of Aldan.[4] As a municipal division, the Town of Aldan is incorporated within Aldansky Municipal District as Aldan Urban Settlement.[5]

Economy

Aldan remains a productive gold and mica mining center, largely avoiding the large drop in population suffered by most other towns in the Russian Far East in the years after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Transportation

The town stands on the A360 Lena Highway, which connects Yakutsk and Never, as well as on the partially complete Amur–Yakutsk Mainline railway. It is served by the Aldan Airport.

Climate

Aldan has the typical eastern Siberian subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc) though it is affected by the Pacific Ocean more than localities in the lower Lena basin, which gives it much heavier rainfall during the summer than most of the republic, as well as a little more snowfall and rather less extreme winter temperatures – though still extremely cold for the latitude and as much as Шаблон:Convert colder than settlements actually on the Okhotsk coast. In spite of the less extreme winters vis-à-vis more northerly parts of Sakha, Aldan has never seen any day above freezing from 22 November to 7 March inclusive.Шаблон:When Although winters are somewhat less extreme than Yakutsk, summers are actually somewhat cooler, and cloudier, than those northerly areas.
