Neryungri, Russia

Official postcard from Allisa :) 

Neryungri is the second largest town in the Sakha Republic, Russia. It was founded in 1975 due to the development of the nearby coal basin. The name "Neryungri" comes from the Evenk word for grayling.

It is the center of a large coal field discovered about 1970. It is on the Amur Yakutsk Mainline and the Lena Highway, 202 km by rail north of Tynda. Neraby, all in the coal basin, are Berkakit: 10 km south; Serebryany Bor: 8 km east with a thermal coal power plant; Chulman: 30 km north, with Chulman Airport; and a large open pit coal mine northwest across the Chulman River.
