Oma

The Oma runs north through the low, marshy country of the Kanin tundra to the Chosha Gulf of the Barents Sea. Lakes and wetlands spread around its winding course, and the long winter covers the open ground with snow. The upper Oma lies within the seasonal routes of Nenets reindeer herders, whose camps and herds move across the tundra between grazing grounds as the seasons change.
