21 November
Adventurous day today, driving special 6WD or tank vehicles we will cover the last 100 Km of frozen tundra and reach the Nenets camp at about midday. The exact distance will depend on the location of the herders which are nomads and move the camp. We will spend the afternoon observing the Nenet daily life. Overnight in Chum with Nenets families. The climate in November usually is not too cold and Chum are heated therefore the temperature will be very comfortable. Also at this time of the year the nights are getting longer and we are far from any artificial light giving us good chances to observe the Northern Light.
Overnight in Chum with Nenets families.

22-23 November
We will spend two days sharing the traditional life with the reindeer herders families. We will share meals with them, learn their way of life, their traditions and above all we will see (and help…) how they move the camp, how they take care of the herd of reindeers and how they disassemble and reassemble the Chum. During our stay we will move at least once the camp.
