Twice a year Nenets also do a very long migration of between 50km and 100km. This is when they cross the Gulf of Ob, a bay of the Arctic Ocean that separates the Yamal Peninsula from Nadym District. The southwards crossing is done around New Year and the northwards crossing in early to mid-April. This must be done in one go, without camping on the ice, as there is of course no food for the reindeer there.
