Salyakharad (form. Salekhard, Russ. Саляхарад, Finn. Saljaharat) is a Uralican town, and the county seat of Yamalia. It is only the third-largest settlement in the county, being about half the size of each of the largest two, Khanto and Novy Urengoy. It sits on the Ob River, and while it is not particularly far from Lapyt-Nank, any attempts to call the two contiguous would indeed be wrong, even with the Ob Bend Bridge along Highway UH-1 connecting the two. It is known for being perhaps the only identified major centre that sits directly on the Arctic Circle. There is a monument within the town dedicated to this.

abstract
| - Salyakharad (form. Salekhard, Russ. Саляхарад, Finn. Saljaharat) is a Uralican town, and the county seat of Yamalia. It is only the third-largest settlement in the county, being about half the size of each of the largest two, Khanto and Novy Urengoy. It sits on the Ob River, and while it is not particularly far from Lapyt-Nank, any attempts to call the two contiguous would indeed be wrong, even with the Ob Bend Bridge along Highway UH-1 connecting the two. It is known for being perhaps the only identified major centre that sits directly on the Arctic Circle. There is a monument within the town dedicated to this. Industry-wise, since it sits so close to the Ob Estuary, it is an important stop-off point for ships, and therefore it has a modest ship and cargo container-building industry. But the largest industry by far has to do with fishery and the processing and canning of fish and fish products.
