Igarka (Russian: Ига́рка) is a town in Turukhansky District of Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia, located 163 kilometers (101 mi) north of the Arctic Circle. Igarka is a monotown established around a sawmill which processed timber logged in the basin of the Yenisei River for export. Up to 1956, it was largely inhabited by deportees and political prisoners. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the town's population is rapidly shrinking – it decreased from 18,820 (1989 Census) to 4,417 (2019).
