Ilimpiyskiy District

[1][2] Ilimpiyskiy district was located in the north of the Evenk Autonomous Okrug.

The total area of the district was 497,600 km2, roughly twice the size of Great Britain.

The administrative centre of the district, as well as of the former Evenk AO, was the town of Tura.

Due to Ilimpiyskiy district's vast expanses with around a third of its territory to the north of the Arctic Circle, the winter months can cause temperatures in the former district (including in Tura) to fall dramatically and reach temperatures as low as -60 °C.

[3] The district contained the geographical center of Russia, located at Lake Vivi.
