"At the annual spring festival at Yar Sale the Nenets test their reindeer's mettle with team racing. Soon the animals' homing instincts will be tested, as the deer follow ancient migration routes to the pastures of the far north—there to fatten until fall snows prompt them to return south."
—From "Nenets: Surviving on the Siberian Tundra," March 1998, National Geographic magazine
