context_page_description: Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District is an administrative and municipal district, one of the forty-three in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. It is located in the north of the krai above the Arctic Circle on the Taymyr Peninsula and borders with Laptev and Kara Seas in the north, the Sakha Republic in the east, Evenkiysky and Turukhansky Districts in the south, and with Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug in the west. The area of the district is 879,900 square kilometers. Its administrative center is the town of Dudinka. Population: 34,432; 39,786; 55,111. The population of Dudinka accounts for 64.4% of the district's total population.
  Since one can only arrive by either air or sea, Norilsk is often thought of as an island entirely surrounded by the Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District. However, it is not under the administration of Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District. In 2005, the central city of Norilsk merged with its satellite cities or neighborhoods as a municipal division. Greater Norilsk, or Big Norilsk, is the Norilsk Industrial Region and is the Krai city.
