00:00Sundays for most of us are a day of rest, a time for simple pleasures like a hot shower,

00:14a cozy book and a quiet cup of tea. But here, beyond the Arctic Circle in Siberia,

00:20Sundays have a different meaning. Valentina, a devoted wife, mother of six and grandmother,

00:26wakes up early ensuring that the fire is stocked and the family has a warm meal to start the day.

00:37The Stepanov family nomadic reindeer herders roam the Siberian wilderness year-round

00:43in conditions where survival is a daily challenge.

00:49As nature calls, Sayan, Valentina's grandson, quickly heads into the forest.

00:54Today for Sayan and his family is a day dedicated to showering and laundry,

00:59tasks that require the entire day.

01:04Sayan is 11 years old, spent most of his time helping his grandparents, eagerly learning the

01:09skills needed to become a reindeer herder. He loves his life in the wilderness and has no desire to

01:15return to town.

01:29As the day begins, Sayan and his older sister, Kira, enjoy a hearty breakfast. Fry pies,

01:36jam and hot tea with milk, slowly waking up and preparing for their busy day ahead.

01:52Vasily, Sayan's grandfather, is getting ready to head outside. Winter has not yet arrived and the

01:58coldest months with temperatures plunging below 60 degrees Celsius are still to come. The Stepanov's

02:05are among the last few nomadic families who brave the coldest place on earth, living in conditions

02:11where most of us could hardly imagine surviving.

02:23Soyan and his uncle make their way to the nearby lake to gather ice for drinking and showering.

02:38Without access to running water, they rely on the frozen lake, cutting blocks of ice to melt for their daily needs.

02:55Despite the freezing temperatures and the heavy labor, Sayan doesn't complain. In this land,

03:01children grow up quickly and their health is essential to the family's survival.

03:08Back at camp, Valentini is busy with household chores,

03:18stocking the fire to heat the tent and preparing water for the family's shower

03:23to make sure their temporary home stays warm and welcoming.

03:38As you might expect, taking a shower while roaming year-round

04:08around in the wild forest is a rare luxury. The Stepanov family not only need to gather water,

04:14but also build a temporary bathhouse. Traditionally, Arctic nomads build shelters from wooden poles

04:21and reindeer hides. But with the demands of wandering life, the Stepanov's now use canvas tents,

04:27faster and more practical. Inside the canvas tent, they place a heating stove, essential source of warmth.

04:34However, even with the stove, the bitter cold still creeps through the gaps.

04:40Another template is an option that the plants are at the highest of the fields to make a plant,

04:46which is the only one that can have a plant.

04:48It is a little of a plant, but they have cat-like,

04:52so they can do it every single day.

04:53You know what kind of plant was the one that has an associate's garden?

04:56Another thing that they have water in the park is Bereich.

04:59The Spanish reproducts in the allora for the months,

05:01the Spanish priests are the two of them.

05:03The Spanish schools are an open source for the people to go.

05:04The next step in preparing for a shower is gathering wood to heat the bathhouse.

05:24The Stepana family roams in the tundra land, one of the harshest environments on earth,

05:30a type of biome where tree growth is limited by the extreme cold.

05:34For most of the year, the tundra is a frozen landscape with few trees, long frigid winters

05:40and high winds.

05:57After several hours of hitting the bathhouse, it's finally time for Sayan to shower.

06:02He grabs his small washball and towel, ready to wash off the week's work.

06:08Unfortunately, as the sun sets, the wind picks up, turning harsh and cold.

06:13This means Sayan will have to shower quickly in the chilly tent.

06:29Sayan feels the biting cold.

06:31In this harsh land, showering requires a lot of effort, from gathering ice to setting up

06:37a temporary bathhouse.

06:38Because of this, Sayan and his family shower only once a week.

06:47As soon as he's done, Sayan hires back to their tent, eager to escape the biting cold as the

06:53temperature drops.

06:59Now it's time for girls to do laundry while the bathhouse is still warm.

07:03Kira and Alina are washing clothes by hand for their whole family.

07:07They are learning the basis of becoming a woman in a herding and it's not an easy work, especially

07:13in these conditions.

07:14Growing up in the Arctic tundra, they master essential skills like gathering wood, water,

07:21cooking and cleaning.

07:23As Kira and Alina grow older, they will gradually take on more responsibilities, stepping into

07:28Valentina's role.

07:30But with education becoming more accessible, Kira and Alina are drawn to modern life.

07:36Kira wants to work in a nursery and Alina hopes to open her own shop or become a doctor.

07:51Valentina has spent over 40 years roaming the tundra with her husband Vasily, tending to

07:57their reindeer herds.

07:59Throughout these years, she balanced the demanding life of a nomadic herder while raising their

08:05six children on her own.

08:07From cooking and sewing clothes to keeping the family warm in the freezing colds, Valentina's

08:12days were always filled with endless tasks.

08:32Now as the morning work settles, Valentina begins preparing lunch.

08:36Today she is making blood sausage from reindeer.

08:39The process is meticulous and she calls over Kira to help.

08:45With no grocery store for thousands of miles, the family relies on what they have.

08:53Mostly reindeer meat, fish, bread and wild berries for a dessert.

09:05Another thing is making a lot of food and he represents such a specialbery.

09:11The water is coming when the villagers are picking up, it is fresh and under $5 and $0.

09:13The water is full when the shepherd starts putting together, so that the food will only be notified of

09:17the livestock.

09:18The water is coming out, so that the livestock is coming out.

09:20That is a bit of a lot of food to help.

09:22The water is coming out, so it is coming out.

09:23The water is coming out, so it is making the water.

09:26My food is coming out.

09:28The people who have the water.

09:30The water is coming out, so it is coming out, so it is going out.

09:33The water is ready to get its a water.

09:34Growing up in a reindeer herding family is a unique and challenging experience for children

09:47like Sayan and Kira.

09:49From a young age they learn essential survival skills, their childhood is filled with adventure

09:54but also hard work.

09:57Despite this, Sayana and Kira love spending their time with their grandparents, living

10:02in the wilderness with a deep sense of freedom and happiness, far away from the noise and

10:08stress of the urban life.

10:20After a big lunch, the men quickly returned to their afternoon chores, guiding the reindeer

10:25back to the tent before nightfall to protect them from wolves and ensure their safety.

10:32While the men tend to their herds, the women visit themselves in the afternoon with sewing

10:50clothes from reindeer hides.

10:52Let's sing some song to protect them because of the aún mud that I've been

11:12As evening falls,

11:41the Stepanov family busies themselves with dinner preparation.

11:45While Valentina and Vasily bake bread, a daily staple of their diet,

11:49the children enjoy a rare moment of relaxation.

11:55When dinner is ready, the family comes together for a simple but hearty meal,

12:00reindeer meat and freshly baked bread.

12:04This is a typical Sunday for nomads in the Arctic.

12:07Their days are busy, and only the evenings offer time to rest.

12:12Yet, the Stepanov family loves their life in the wilderness,

12:16finding joy in the quiet rhythm of nature and the raw beauty of the tundra.
