EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Sergei Karpukhin, we are transported to the vast and untamed tundra of Russia's Nenets Autonomous District. The image showcases a tent belonging to reindeer herders, standing proudly amidst the barren landscape on November 27,2016. The sheer instinct and resilience of these herders is palpable as they brave the harsh Arctic conditions in their quest to shepherd wild reindeer. With nothing but open space surrounding them, they navigate through freezing temperatures and relentless snowfall with an unwavering determination. The frozen air hangs heavy around the tent, emphasizing the inhospitable environment that these nomadic people call home. The shrubs peeking out from beneath the snow serve as a reminder of nature's ability to adapt even in such extreme circumstances. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, it becomes evident that winter camping leisure takes on an entirely different meaning here. This is not just a recreational activity; it is a way of life intricately intertwined with nature and wildlife. Through Sergei Karpukhin's lens, we catch a glimpse into a world untouched by modernity—a place where man coexists harmoniously with his surroundings. This photograph encapsulates both the beauty and challenges faced by those who choose to live in harmony with nature in one of Earth's most unforgiving landscapes.
