he climate is prohibitive, but if the weather permits it, walks along the Arctic shoreline are a good way to explore the area. The easiest way to get into this town is by plane. Polar Airlines and Yakutia Airlines, operate flights until here. About 1,000 km away from the nearest city, Tiksi https://visityakutia.com/tiksi-arctic-russia-summer-tour/, is an extremely remote settlement in a desolate Arctic wasteland. It developed as a trade outpost along the northern Arctic shore. Museum of Ust-Lena Reserve is dedicated to the history of Tiksi (birthplace of a famous photographer).
In her personal work, she looks into her homeland capturing the remote worlds and people who inhabit the Artic.

In 2009, EVGENIA ARBUGAEVA http://www.evgeniaarbugaeva.com/ graduated from the International Center of Documentary Photography in New York.
Her work relies on the Artic’s natural light and color. Northern Lights exist in her photographs, as part of the local imagination and mythology. Her photographs infuse a sense of wonder and energy into the barren tundra. Her work has been exhibited internationally.

EVGENIA ARBUGAEVA has an empathy with the people living in the far north. Having grown up in Yakutsk in the same difficult living conditions, several of her photographic projects have involved them. https://www.facebook.com/natgeophotos/posts/photographer-evgenia-arbugaeva-traveled-with-the-nomadic-nenet-people-of-the-rus/1569868589738488/
