Nogliki (Russian: Ноглики) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) and the administrative center of Nogliksky District of Sakhalin Oblast, Russia, located near the eastern coast of Sakhalin Island, about 6 kilometers (3.7 mi) inland from the Sea of Okhotsk shoreline and about 600 kilometers (370 mi) north of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.

[citation needed] Some believe that this ethnonym owes its origin to the self-name of one of the clans of the Sakhalin Nivkhs “Noglan”, and the historical name of their camp is called “Noglvo”, or in the Russian version of “Nogliki”.

The climate is harsh subarctic (Dfc), with long, very cold winters only marginally moderated by the ocean and very cool, short summers.

Nogliki is influenced by the Siberian High and the Russian mainland in winters, resulting in very cold temperatures.

For example, the area surrounding London, United Kingdom has a 12 °C (22 °F) warmer climate in terms of yearly mean.
