It’s noon and -37C in Chukotka. A blistering wind slices across the tundra. In the magnificent landscape of Russia's Arctic Circle on the Bering Strait, 72-year-old patriarch Vukvukai leads his indigenous family in caring for their herd of 14,000 reindeer. Living in isolation, the family depends on reindeer for everything. In the harshest of arctic conditions the narrative, characters and landscapes are so vivid it feels almost like a work of cinematic fiction. With stunning images of an epic landscape and its people, The Tundra Book provides a rare and poetic glimpse into a man determined to preserve his people's ancient culture, beliefs and traditions.
