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.

Greeting from the edge of the world.
Beyond special … every one the imagery of a MASTER!
It is Mac, there are few words to describe the essay, people reindeer, dogs and the landscape.
What magnificent creatures!
''What magnificent creatures!''
Including humans, dogs and reindeer.
The pictures are stunning! Drinking blood?...seriously? Oh hell no!
Don't be a wuss Uppy...LOL
Wuss? LOL...you go first!
Been doing it for years Uppy...LOL
Why on earth would you?
To keep from freezing to death. Remember I grew up where temps at -40 were not uncommon.
I thought you meant you still do! I get the "why" to stay warm but isn't there something else they can drink? And, btw...whose blood are they drinking?
They are drinking the reindeer blood Uppy.
The pictures are stunning! Drinking blood?...seriously? Oh hell no!
If you lived in temperatures of minus 49 degrees with nothing but frozen tundra, a few trees, and some Reindeer...you might think differently!
And probably some Samoyeds...?
The first few pictures I saw, I thought they were in a forest-- and they were-- a forest of reindeer antlers! What fabulous pictures!
I hope they can be left alone to live their lives as they always have...
I hope so as well Dowser.
I love the photo of the dogs sleeping on the blanket. Very cool
When I saw it, I thought, "Oh, they love their babies, too!" Such a cute picture!
Fantastic photos!
Total agreement Krish.
Those truly are stunning images. Beautiful. That boy taking them has a dang good eye.
They are spectacular Tex...I loved everyone of them.
I liked these so much I seeded this here .
