In this photo print, we are transported to the Yamal peninsula, located north of the polar circle in Russia. The image captures a serene moment as a herd of deer peacefully grazes on pasture ground. These majestic creatures symbolize the resilience and harmony that exists between nature and the Nenets tribespeople who have called this frozen land home for centuries. The Nenets tribespeople have weathered countless challenges throughout history, from surviving the reigns of Tsars to enduring the tumultuous Bolshevik revolution and even navigating through the chaotic 1990s. However, they now face their most significant test yet - an immense reserve of natural gas lying beneath their very feet. Underneath these fur-bundled soles lies enough gas to potentially heat our world for five years. This juxtaposition highlights both the potential prosperity and environmental consequences that come with such a discovery.
