Endless journey with reindeers in the land of Nenets

Editor - Alexander Ganjushin, photos - Alberto Caspani, music - Tramp

You need a lot of patience, and a pinch of luck to meet the Nenets. Their life is not  based on the rising and setting of the sun, which in the Arctic Circle extends time into a dimension. Nor is it based on human time: their rhythms are dictated only by their inseparable companion, the reindeer. They always rely on the tangles of the lichens, which even in the summer whiten the land of Yamal.
