Webcam at the crossing of the Ob from Salekhard

Live webcam is installed at the crossing of the Ob from Salekhard and looks at the river in the northwest direction towards Labytnangi.

Right now, thanks to a webcam installed from Salekhard, you can watch the crossing of the Ob River towards the town of Labytnangi. This live online broadcast provides a unique opportunity to see how one of the key transport arteries in this region functions.

The Ob River, one of the largest in Russia, plays an important role in the lives of local residents. During the winter months, when the river is covered with a thick layer of ice, there is an ice crossing. This is a unique phenomenon when thick ice sheets become a reliable road along which you can safely move between shores.

When the ice melts and the river is freed from its ice captivity, the ferry service begins to operate. Ferries regularly run between Salekhard and Labytnangi, providing transport links for people and goods. The webcam allows viewers to watch this process in real time, see how ferries arrive and depart from the piers, and assess how busy the crossing is.

The broadcast also makes it possible to find out the weather in Salekhard. You can see how the weather conditions affect the river and the crossing: from clear winter days when the sun sparkles on the icy surface, to windy autumn mornings when the river is agitated by gusts of wind.

This online broadcast from a webcam is not just a way to see the crossing, it is an opportunity to feel the connection of times and traditions, when ancient travel routes are combined with modern technologies. Watch the life of the Ob River and its crossing in real time and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of this unique place.
