Destination: Siberia
Expedition: As the Arctic melts, and oil companies move in, the Nenets people of Russia, who for centuries have driven their reindeer along an annual, 800-mile migration, now must navigate new terrain. Their ancient odyssey, and the unique knowledge of nature it has provided, will survive only as long as there is snow and ice beneath their feet. This expedition will document the stories and visuals of Nenets reindeer herding on the Siberian tundra and includes a Nenets co-leader and anthropologist, Dr. Roza Laptander.
