Stunning pictures feature the nomadic Nenets tribe, who drink blood to survive in -45C (-49F) temperatures

A British photographer has captured life at the 'edge of the world'. He joined an 800km migration of reindeer in the Yamal-Nenets region of Siberia

Timothy Allen, best known for his work on BBC's Human Planet, trekked through the freezing Siberian wilderness for 16 days as he joined part of an 800km migration of reindeer in the Yamal-Nenets region, a name that roughly translates to 'edge of the world'.

The stunning pictures feature the nomadic Nenets tribe, who drink blood to survive in -45C (-49F) temperatures.

Timothy's epic journey, which will be revealed in an eight-minute documentary on Animal Planet USA, saw him travel across the bleak terrain of the frozen Ob River with the Nenets people in December last year.

The Nenets, also known as Samoyeds, are an indigenous people in northern arctic Russia.


It is unknown whether the people guide the reindeer or whether the animals lead the people.
