Population: 96,000 inhabitants (2011).
Magadan covers an area of 1,216 square kilometers between the bays Nagaeva and Gertner. The city stands on permafrost in a seismically active zone. For this region is characterized by harsh climatic conditions. Its climate is influenced by the Sea of Okhotsk. The average annual temperature: -3ºC; average temperature in January: -17ºS; the average August temperature: + 12 ° C. Annual rainfall: 530 mm.

In 1915, in the pool Srednekan lone prospector Shafigulin nicknamed Boriska found the first gold in Kolyma. In 1926, an expedition SV Obruchev established favorable geological conditions for the occurrence of this metal.
Two years later, the first Kolyma expedition YA Bilibin initiated a detailed study of the Kolyma River. Reliable information about the economy of the region were obtained hydrographic expedition JF Young, who recommended the bay Nagaeva as convenient for the construction of the port and the starting point of the road construction.
