Amderma prayer times overview
The Amderma prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time is applied for Amderma: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Amderma coordinates: 69.7576°N and 61.6655°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. Such a latitude requires special attention when calculating Fajr and Isha during periods of very bright nights or polar phenomena.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. For high latitudes, special rules for adjusting the calculation are applied when necessary.
According to today's schedule for Amderma, the sun rises at 01:03, while the Maghrib time begins at 20:53. 19 часов 50 минут passes between these events. This is a very long daylight day: it is especially important to monitor the Isha and Fajr times carefully.
The night interval in Amderma begins after Maghrib at 20:53 and lasts until Fajr at 23:56. Its duration is 27 часов 3 минуты. The night is long enough, so there is more time for rest and night prayers between Maghrib and Fajr.
In summer in Amderma, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.

Questions about prayer times in Amderma
The prayer schedule directly depends on three factors: geographic latitude, longitude and the time zone. The sun rises and sets at its own time at every point on the globe, so the moments of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha inevitably differ even between closely located localities. The greater the difference in latitude, the more noticeable the difference in the morning and evening prayer times. This is precisely why the schedule is drawn up to match the coordinates of each city.
Prayer times in Amderma are updated daily. This is related to the constant shifting of the sunrise and sunset moments following the Earth's orbit around the sun. The changes are especially noticeable during the transitional seasons — spring and autumn — when the day length changes fastest, sometimes by several minutes per day. For the schedule to remain accurate, it should be checked daily, not once a week.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (23:56) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (20:53) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
In Amderma, due to the high geographic latitude, peculiar astronomical conditions arise. In summer the sun does not set deep below the horizon, the night is very short or bright, and in some periods true twilight may not occur at all. In winter, on the contrary, the day is extremely short. Under such conditions, the usual astronomical calculation of the Fajr and Isha times becomes difficult, so a special adjustment method recommended for high latitudes is applied.
