==History== ===Pre-history=== The name of the village comes from the Chukchi word ''I'nchuvin, meaning "a cut-off nose tip". This strange appellation is derived from a nearby cliff with a large rock at its base that is said to look like a nose cut from a face. There is a Chukchi dancing troupe in the village called Vyrykvyn.
