Things to do1
History
The name "Lorino" comes from the Chukchi "льурэн" (lyuren), meaning "found camp". The first mention of Lorino comes from the 18th century, with the modern Chukchi village located on the site of the former Eskimo settlement of Nukak [6]. The main occupations of the inhabitants are sea mammal hunting, reindeer herding and fishing and the village is the base for the municipal agricultural enterprise "Keper" (Russian: Кэпэр). A fox farm was established in the village in 1955 and a processing factory for seafood and meat canning was opened in 2009.
