What is it like to live in one of the coldest, most isolated, and extreme corners of the planet?

We'll learn about their yarangas (traditional houses), their extraordinary relationship with reindeer, their diet, their beliefs, and some of their most surprising historical marriage traditions. We'll also explore the remote Diomede Islands, separated by just a few kilometers but on different days, and the extraordinary Wrangel Island, one of the great natural sanctuaries of the Arctic. A land of ice, isolation, and customs difficult to imagine from the outside. Welcome to Lives of the World. Today we discover the real life in Chukotka.
