Tarko-Sale (Russian: Та́рко-Сале́, Nenets: Тарка’ саля, Tarkaꜧ salja; Forest Nenets: Таӆка’ хаӆя) is a town and the administrative center of Purovsky District in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia.

[8] The Purovsky District Museum of History and Local Lore is located in Tarko-Sale.

Like most of Russia, it has a subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc) characterised by long, frigid winters and short, pleasant to warm summers.

[10] Tarko-Sale also hosts a wood processing plant by Yamal LPK LLC (Ямальский лесопромышленный комплекс), which produces glued laminated timber and MHM panels.

[11][12] The Tarko-Sale Airport was founded in 1962 and expanded greatly after the discovery of oil and natural gas deposits in the area in the 1970s.
