In 2008 I went to Novosibirsk, Russia, for a solar eclipse. We were told at the time that this chapel in town marks the geographical center of Russia. I also went back in 2011 on a trip across Russia on the train. Myth or out of date or whatever, it's apparently not true, and there's a monument on the shore of Lake Vivi indicating the true spot.

However, my interest now piqued, I can't find if it's even possible to visit this spot. It seems fairly far north of the standard train lines. Can one visit, or would it require a more substantial expedition to venture out into this region of Russia?
