Living on the Yamal Peninsula in the far north of Siberia, above the Arctic Circle where the temperatures can goas low as -50°C, Man survives thanks to an animal: the reindeer. Breeders,the Nenets people, numbering approximately 10,000, continue to perpetuate a nomad way of life. They journey nearly 70 times a year overmore than 1000 km looking for pasture of white lichen, the main food sourcefor the herds. The Nenets people are the largest group of reindeer breeders on the planet, but for how much longer? What is the future for these peoples who live on top of a treasure coveted by the entire world: the biggest gasfield on Earth?
