Kanin Peninsula, Arctic peninsula in Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia.
The Kanin Peninsula extends between the White Sea and the Barents Sea, featuring tundra plains with morainic hills reaching heights of 80 meters.
The peninsula's settlement patterns evolved through centuries of nomadic populations who established small fishing communities and reindeer herding practices along its coastlines.
The Nenets people maintain their traditions on the peninsula through specific fishing methods, reindeer management techniques, and preservation of regional crafts.
Transportation to the peninsula requires careful planning, as access depends on weather conditions and involves specialized vehicles suitable for tundra terrain.
The village of Shoyna, located on the western coast, experiences continuous sand movement that has reduced its population from 1,500 to 300 residents.
