The great northern coast of Russia is inside the Arctic Circle, and the shoreline is hundreds of miles from civilisation almost the whole way along. Lighthouses were required for the coast, because it’s a handy passage but it spends a hundred days of the year in near-permanent night. The problems were that they’d be miles from anywhere, and couldn’t realistically be supplied or crewed.

Probably used it for distilling vodka.
Vladimir Putin is nuclear powered.
KInda scary actually, I remember Cherbynol and I know they make some pretty crappy planes…
