Ènmyl'yn

Ènmyl'yn lies near Cape Bering on the southern coast of the Chukchi Peninsula. The Chukchi name refers to the rocky country around the settlement, whose people hunted marine mammals along the Bering Sea. A map made by Ivan Kobelev in 1779 shows a village here under a form of the same name, evidence of an established community on this coast in the eighteenth century.
