Taymyria

Taymyria (Таймырский автономный округ) is an autonomous district (okrug) of Krasnoyarsk Krai in the Russian Federation. It is named after the Taymyr Peninsula. It is also called Dolgan-Nenets Autonomous District (Долгано-Ненецкий автономный округ), by the name of the indigenous people, Dolgans and Nenetses.
