Nenets

Summary Bruce passes five icy winter weeks with a traditional nomadic group -half live in modern villages- of the Nenets, a pastoral people on the Northern Siberian Yamal peninsula, inside the Arctic Circle, which holds a quarter of the world's known natural gas reserve. They live in tents, following reindeer herds, which are wild except for the semi-domesticated beasts of burden, given the huge distance a five month annual tundra migration. Everything is made and organized for the polar climate, actually too complicated for a novice guest to be much use. They also fish in the ice.
