It's Tundra time

Now I am traveling to a tundra environment. This tundra climate is quite cold, and I can't really understand what most of the people say. There was a museum that had a lot of infomation about Nadym I i've listed it below.
Nadym is a town in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia, situated on the Nadym River. It is the administrative center of Nadymsky District. It has a Population 45,943, but it had seven thousand more people 13 years ago.
The origin of the name is unknown. One of the most likely versions is that it derives from the Nenets word nyaidem, which translates into English as "mossy place".
The main enterprise of the town is Nadymgazprom, which makes 40% of the total output of gas production in Russia, so it is a known town. There are also several large building companies.
In the school of Nadym is a museum of Tanya Savicheva. Nadym is the nearest town to the point of greatest eclipse for the solar eclipse of August 1, 2008.
