Nogliki (Russian: Ноглики) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) and the administrative center of Nogliksky District of Sakhalin Oblast, Russia, located near the eastern coast of Sakhalin Island, about 6 kilometers (3.7 mi) inland from the Sea of Okhotsk shoreline and about 600 kilometers (370 mi) north of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Population: 10,231 (2010 census);[2] 10,729 (2002 census);[7] 11,546 (1989 Soviet census).[8]
It was founded in the late 1940s with the beginnings of petroleum production in the area.[citation needed] It was granted urban-type settlement status in 1960.[citation needed]
Some believe that this ethnonym owes its origin to the self-name of one of the clans of the Sakhalin Nivkhs “Noglan”, and the historical name of their camp is called “Noglvo”, or in the Russian version of “Nogliki”. Others believe that in its first principle it is a hydronym, and connect the appearance of the name of the settlement with the small river Nogliki - the right tributary of the Imchin river, which flows, in turn, into the Tym river in its lowest reaches. In modern pronunciation, these names, of course, are a distortion of the original, for the Nivkhs called the Nogly-ngi river, and their camp, which was once located on the site of the present regional center, was called Nogl-in. The name of the river is associated with numerous surface oil manifestations in its basin and means “smelling river”; from the words "nogla" - odorous and "and" - the river.
Climate
The climate is harsh subarctic (Köppen Dfc), with long, frigid winters only marginally moderated by the ocean alongside short, mild summers. Nogliki during winter lies on the cold eastern flank of the Siberian High, producing very cold temperatures as the frigid air is advected southwards. Over the course of the year Nogliki experiences a massive latitude anomaly in relation to other coastal climates on similar latitudes. For example, the area surrounding London, United Kingdom has a 12 °C (21.6 °F) warmer climate in terms of yearly mean, and is over 20 °C (36 °F) milder in the winter.
