Nature of Russia. Siberia. Resettlement of musk oxen to Taimyr. Taimyr tundra.

Mammoths' peers are still preserved on earth. They live in Canada and Alaska. And now in Russia in the Arctic North. These are musk oxen - powerful and proud animals, which have almost no natural enemies. The Taimyr Peninsula is the northernmost edge of Eurasia. This land stretches for hundreds of kilometers, leaving in the cold waters of the Arctic Ocean. There are no permanent settlements here in such a vast area. Only rare weather stations and frontier posts. And many of them have been gone for a long time. Nature endowed this land with the most severe climate unsuitable for human life, but for musk oxen this is a real paradise. Therefore, Taimyr became the first region in Russia where scientists decided to conduct an experiment on the return of musk oxen to their historical homeland. Less than a year has passed since we tried to find musk oxen in Central Taimyr. But then luck turned against us. And so, we again set off on a new journey. Now we decided to explore the eastern part of Taimyr, exactly the places where the first musk oxen from the USA and Canada were brought and released 40 years ago. And in order to get there, we had to overcome about 500 kilometers along the snowy tundra and find musk oxen there.
