Provideniya Airport Fuel Station

This remote Arctic airfield fuel depot sits at the easternmost edge of Russia, serving as the final refueling point before the treacherous Bering Strait crossing. The station operates primarily for charter flights and the occasional overlander brave enough to attempt the seasonal ice route to Alaska. Fuel quality can be inconsistent and prices are astronomical due to the logistics of getting anything to this frozen outpost.

Access requires crossing the entire Chukotka Peninsula via winter roads that are impassable from May through October. The station may be closed without notice due to weather or supply issues. Carry extra fuel containers and expect to pay cash in rubles only.
