Cooling their heels Kamchatka, Russia: Children of the frozen north, these three youngsters wear furs and skins as protection against the cold at their home in Kamchatka, Russia.

The residents, turning from the skin tents of their ancestors, live in light, roomy houses and have a library, nursery and school.
