Provideniya
Provideniya, the largest settlement
on Wrangel Island, is a center
for scientific research and exploration. This port town offers a unique blend
of natural beauty and historical significance. Visit the Wrangel Island
Museum to learn about the island's fascinating history and
diverse wildlife. Explore the surrounding landscapes, home to polar bears,
walruses, and a variety of bird species. Shopping options might
be limited to basic supplies, but local vendors might sell handcrafted
souvenirs. For a taste of local
cuisine, try the Navaga (cod) dishes served at the Provideniya Restaurant. Nightlife is low-key, but you might find a
cozy
bar or restaurant where you can unwind with fellow sailors and share stories of
your adventures.
