Since you last heard from us, we have traveled 900 km:s east from Yakutsk to this village, where our 4 members of the team, the reindeer herders have been staying. The camp is a few kilometers away where the 25 reindeer await us. And, a surprise to me, is that the herders have demanded that we bring one of their wives as a cook!  http://www.humanedgetech.com/expedition/outwild/ This update from Mikael Strandberg’s blog:
