In the Yamal Peninsula, in this frozen wasteland, over a thousand years ago Nenets settled, reindeer herders, leading a nomadic life to the limit of the bearable. Nenets live in the chum, which is the name of their reindeer skin tents, that they disassemble and reassemble during migrations looking for mosses and lichens which reindeer feed on. Although many of them carry on ancient traditions, over the years fewer and fewer decide to stay. Young people who have the opportunity to study in the city, hardly miss to return to live in the tundra.
Nenets, a nomadic people who breed reindeer in the Siberian tundra,  in winter, when the temperature drop down to -50°, they move on sledges pulled by reindeer following ancient arctic routes looking for mosses and lichens which reindeer feed on. In this transhumance Nenets travel about 1200 kilometers each year, making it one of the longest in the world.
This is a young girl belonging to the Nenet ethnic group. Nenets, to shelter from the cold, dress in reindeer skins, warm and heavy. Women can wear arctic fox fur hats.
Nenets children usually play outside their tends with their “domestic” reindeer. During the day the temperature outdoor is about - 30°. It was really surprising to see how spontaneous they are. They easily have fun and they can turn ordinary objects out in toys for their amusement.
