A 700-kilometer finger of frozen tundra pointing north into the Kara Sea, it is one of the most inhospitable places on Earth where large-scale industry operates. Temperatures reach minus 50 Celsius. Permafrost extends hundreds of meters below the surface. For weeks in winter, there is no sunlight. Beneath all of this lies an estimated 22 trillion cubic meters of natural gas -- reserves so enormous that they have justified one of the most ambitious and expensive resource extraction projects in history. The Yamal megaproject, led primarily by Gazprom, has transformed this Arctic wilderness into a hub of global energy production.

The Yamal project required building an entirely new transport network in the Arctic, starting with the Obskaya-Bovanenkovo railway. Completed in 2011, this 572-kilometer rail line runs from the existing Trans-Siberian ...

The other half was moving it thousands of kilometers to the customers who would burn it. The Yamal-Europe pipeline, a joint project agreed in 1993 between the gas transportation companies of Russia,...

The Nenets people who named this peninsula 'end of the land' had lived here for cen...
