YAMAL is an isolated Arctic region in the Ural of Russia that keeps secrets of indigenous nomadic people who live in the Far North for over 2000 years. The Khanty people are reindeer herders who migrate across the Yamal peninsula. For thousands of years they have survived heavy frost and severe conditions of Arctic tundra. Temperatures in this part of Russia reach -50°C. Let's see one day of their life in the tundra of Yamal region.
