Days 3-6
Reindeer herders of Yamal
We'll travel to and spend time in two different reindeer herders' camps, where we'll stay for two days with each family. We'll stay in chums, capture images of the locals' simple life, and photograph herds of reindeer in the tundra. We'll dine together with our hosts and try local cuisine which mainly includes venison, fish, and taiga berries (however, there's a good chance you'll see more familiar food on a table).
We'll sleep in our sleeping bags in chums, which are warm and cozy enough thanks to wood-burning stoves. In the evenings, our hosts start the generator so there will be electricity for you to recharge the batteries.
We'll photograph local people practicing lasso, harness reindeer and driving sleigh. Every night, we'll observe the polar sky in the hope of catching the arctic lights.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included
