In this video I set off to the very north of Russia looking for the legendary Nenets people, who roam around the Siberian tundra in temperatures as low as -50 degrees.

The Nenets people are native to the lands north of the Ural Mountains, and their whole culture rotates around the chums - their tents where they live in the white Arctic tundra. The chums are really similar to the typical North American teepee - only that you can find them in the middle of the snow in Arctic Siberia, where temperatures reach as low as -40 and -50 degrees.

The climate in Arctic Russia is notoriously extremely harsh, but the Nenets are used to it - as they have been nomadic for thousands of years.
The curious bit is that Nenets, although they are used to live very far off civilisation, they are still very much attached to Russian society - they are, after all, Russian citizens. They all have Russian passports and they somehow even manage to take part in elections.
In my quest to set foot in every single federal subject in Russia, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug was definitely one of them! Don't forget to follow me on Instagram for live updates @davelegenda 📷
