Chekurovka is a noteworthy Arctic military airfield in Sakha Republic, Russia located 89 km southwest of Tiksi.
In August 1901, Russian Arctic ship Zarya headed across the Laptev Sea, searching for the legendary Sannikov Land (Zemlya Sannikova) but was soon blocked by floating pack ice in the New Siberian Islands.
During the summer months, passenger ferries depart downriver from Ust-Kut to Yakutsk and Tiksi.
