Keperveem Airport — Keperveem, Russia

Keperveem Airport lies in the remote Chukotka Autonomous Okrug in Russia's far northeast, one of the most isolated regions of the country deep in the Arctic reaches beyond the Kolyma. At an elevation of about 623 feet, it has a single concrete runway that is notably long at roughly 11,482 feet, reflecting the demanding conditions and the need to receive substantial aircraft in a place with almost no overland access. Winters here are severe and settlements few, so air links are a lifeline. The KPW code identifies this far-northern field, which connects a scattered Arctic population to the rest of Chukotka and the distant centers of the Russian Far East.
