Cape Chelyuskin is the northernmost point of the Eurasian mainland on the Taymyr Peninsula; the strip there belongs to the polar station of the same name and exists solely to supply it, usually by helicopter and light aircraft. There is no scheduled service, no freight handling, no ground handling agent, no customs post and no airport codes, and resupply arrives by ship along the Northern Sea Route in summer, so commercial cargo relevance is nil. Consignments for the region can route via Khatanga (HTG), Dikson (DKS) and Norilsk Alykel (NSK), bearing in mind that air freight to and from Russia is subject to sanctions and airspace restrictions depending on the country of origin.
