When 1996
Photographer Maria Stenzel

"In thin forest just south of the tree line, a Nenets herder leads his reindeer across snow-covered pastures where lichens serve as winter fodder. Soon they will cross the Arctic Circle into the treeless tundra of the Yamal Peninsula, where the Nenets have been pasturing their animals for centuries."

—From "Nenets: Surviving on the Siberian Tundra," March 1998, National Geographic magazine
