This gives a fascinating insight into the life of these residents. We take too much for granted today in our daily lives.

People of Chukotka use the same method to get eggs. It’s 12 timezones apart, literally the opposite side of the world.

Going down those high, sheer cliffs on a rope held by just one other person and then back up again was an incredible achievement.
I don't know how the men did this, they had amazing skill, agility, strength and courage to do it.
