Taymyr Gulf
The Taymyr Gulf (russian: Таймырская губа, Taymyrskaya guba; also known as ''Taymyr Bay'', russian: Таймырский залив, Taymyrsky zaliv, link=no) is a gulf in the Kara Sea that includes the estuary of the Lower Taymyra.

Taymyr (1909 Icebreaker)
The ''Taymyr'' was an icebreaking steamer of 1200 tons built for the Russian Imperial Navy at St. Petersburg in 1909. It was named after the Taymyr Peninsula. ''Taymyr'' and her sister ship '' Vaygach'' were built for the purpose of thoroughly exploring the uncharted areas of the Northern Sea Route. This venture became known as the Arctic Ocean Hydrographic Expedition. Surveys The first of a series of surveys began in the autumn of 1910, when ''Taymyr'' and ''Vaygach'' left Vladivostok. They entered the Chukchi Sea with scientists on board and began their exploration. For the next five years, these icebreakers went on sounding and carrying on vital surveys during the thaw. Before every winter, when ice conditions became too bad, they returned to Vladivostok and waited for the spring. In 1911 the scientists and crew aboard ''Vaygach'' and ''Taymyr'' made the first Russian landing on Wrangel Island. In 1914, Boris Vilkitsky was both the captain of ''Taymyr'' and the leader o ...

Taymyr Class Nuclear Icebreaker
A nuclear-powered icebreaker is an icebreaker with an onboard nuclear power plant that produces power for the vessel's propulsion system. , Russia is the only country that builds and operates nuclear-powered icebreakers, having built a number of such vessels to aid shipping along the Northern Sea Route since the Soviet times. Nuclear-powered icebreakers are much more powerful than their diesel-powered counterparts. Although nuclear propulsion is expensive to install and maintain, very heavy fuel demands, limitations on range, and difficulty refueling in the Arctic region can make diesel vessels less practical and less economical overall for these ice-breaking duties. During the winter, the ice along the Northern Sea Route varies in thickness from . The ice in central parts of the Arctic Ocean is on average thick. Nuclear-powered icebreakers can force through this ice at speeds up to . In ice-free waters, the maximum speed of the nuclear-powered icebreakers is as much as . Uses ...

Design General characteristics While ''Taymyr'' is slightly smaller than the ''Arktika''-class nuclear icebreakers, with an overall length of nearly and beam of she is still among the largest polar icebreakers ever built. At the maximum draught of , ''Taymyr'' has a displacement of 21,000 tons. However, she can also operate at a reduced draught of only . ''Taymyr'' has a traditional icebreaker hull with highly raked stem and sloping sides to reduce the ice loads in compressive ice fields and improve maneuverability. The special cold-resistant steel used in the hull was delivered by the Soviet Union. Although designed for a crew of slightly over 100, the large superstruc ...
