Etymology edit
The literal meaning of both the Russian and Sakha language names is the "white mountain".[citation needed]
History edit
It was founded in 1974 as the administrative center of Abyysky District, to replace the previous settlement of Druzhina, which was located 50 kilometers (31 mi) upstream on the Indigirka and was often subject to flooding.[citation needed] It was granted urban-type settlement status in 1975.[2]
Administrative and municipal status edit
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Belaya Gora serves as the administrative center of Abyysky District.[2] As an administrative division, the urban-type settlement of Belaya Gora[1] is incorporated within Abyysky District as the Settlement of Belaya Gora.[2] As a municipal division, the Settlement of Belaya Gora is incorporated within Abyysky Municipal District as Belaya Gora Urban Settlement.[5]
Transportation edit
Belaya Gora is not connected to the outside world by any year-round roads. A winter road following the Indigirka, partially on the ice of the river when frozen, passes through, allowing for travel downstream to Chokurdakh and upstream to Ust-Nera via Khonuu. Another route exists, which leads west from Belaya Gora, up the valley of the Uyadina, to the mining settlement of Deputatsky; however, this route is no longer maintained.
The Belaya Gora Airport is located a short distance to the northeast.
