Every year, Vassily and his brigade undertake a 1,500-kilometer trek from the north to the south of the Yamal peninsula. But how long will they be able to do so? Many pastures have given way to gas extraction fields, growing cities, a railroad, and even an airport. Not to mention the deep scars in the landscape caused by gas and oil extraction, and the new nuclear-powered icebreakers creating busy shipping lanes in the Arctic. As industries dramatically change the landscape and accelerate the effects of global warming, the Nenets can't help but observe their way of life being threatened.
