Since one can only arrive by either air or sea, Norilsk is often thought of as an island entirely surrounded by the Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District. However, it is not under the administration of Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District. In 2005, the central city of Norilsk merged with its satellite cities or neighborhoods (Talnakh and Kayerkan) as a municipal division. Greater Norilsk, or Big Norilsk (Russian: «Большой Норильск» ), is the Norilsk Industrial Region (Russian: Нори́льский промы́шленный райо́н, (НПР)) and is the Krai city of Norilsk. Greater Norilsk includes Norilsk, the remote area (Russian: отдалённый район) of Oganer, and the urban-type settlement of Snezhnogorsk and is equal to a district within the Krasnoyarsk Krai and is not part of the Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District.
