Ust-Nera Airport Fuel Station

This small airport fuel station marks the terminus of the brutal winter road from Magadan, offering both aviation fuel and diesel for ground vehicles. The facility serves mining operations, geological surveys, and the occasional expedition pushing deeper into the Verkhoyansky Range. Services are basic but reliable, with fuel stored in heated tanks to prevent freezing in the extreme cold.

Operating seasonally when the winter road is passable, typically December through April. The station maintains emergency fuel stocks for stranded travelers, but supplies can run low during peak mining season. Verify fuel availability before making the journey — this is your last reliable fuel for hundreds of kilometers.
