Soaring Arctic temperatures have led to an outbreak of anthrax in Yamal Peninsula, Russia, triggered by unusually warm weather and the thawing of permafrost that once covered contaminated cemeteries and animal burial grounds. A Greenpeace Russia team arrived at the region to investigate the impact of climate change on the environment and indigenous life.
