Juan Curto Very rarely people still surprises us in this First World, like the Nenets in this series. A wonderful job that needed too little to succeeded.
One of the most inhospitable places on earth for its extreme weather conditions is Siberia, where temperatures can drop below -40 degrees. Exactly 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.
