Historical Information
The first buildings on the site of the modern village were barns erected in 1741 by D. Ya. Laptev , a member of the Great Northern Expedition , before going from the mouth of the Kolyma River to the Anadyr River. According to these barns, the bay and village got its name, which subsequently arose on its shore [4] .
With the discovery and start of development of gold deposits in the upper Kolyma, there was an urgent need to create a seaport to supply the appeared mines. In November 1932, construction of the berth facilities of the future port and the construction of the first river barges began in Ambarchik Bay. On December 22 of the same year, the Dalstroy River Administration was organized here. The construction of the port and the village was carried out by the prisoners of the Gulag . The camp was a transit camp, prisoners were taken to navigation through Ambarchik, who were transplanted from sea vessels to river ships and distributed among the Kolyma camps. Since 1935, a weather station began to operate in Ambarchik.
In 1939, the port was transferred under the control of the Glavsevmorput , and the management of the river shipping company was transferred to Zyryanka . In 1954, the camp ceased to exist [5] .
Due to not very favorable conditions - shallow depths and frequent storms in the mid-1950s. it was decided to transfer the port to a more convenient place - Cape Verde . After that, Ambarchik was empty.
Current status
Near the village there is a runway for helicopters and transport aircraft [6] .
There are no permanent residents in Ambarchik, however, several polar explorers are constantly on duty at the weather station.
Monuments
In 1993, a cross was erected at the camp site in Ambarchik, with a stylized image of a hut and the inscription βTo the victims of political repression of 1932-1954 from the inhabitants of Nizhny Kolymaβ [7] .
