Winter Migration on the Edge of the World

In the winter of 2001 I was invited to accompany a household of 8 people, 29 reindeer, 35 horses, and 3 dogs on their annual 21-day migration through Siberia between their summer and winter grazing grounds. The journey took us over remote, rugged mountains as high as Mont Blanc, where temperatures averaged -30° F. Without compass or maps, this small family caravan migrated from where the borders of Siberia touch the northernmost tip of Mongolia to their summer grazing grounds further south, near Lake Hovsgol ("Dark Blue Pearl").
