Yurshor (Komi and Russian: Юршор) was a northern outpost of Vorgashor, a mining town in Russia, and part of the Vorkuta Ring of settlements. By 2018 the town had been abandoned.[1]
There is a possibility that the village's name originates from the abbreviation of the geographical toponym Izyurvozh, which is a tributary of the Vorkuta river. The name in the Komi language can be translated as "stream-tributary at the stone-head."[2]
