This undated picture released from Russian Emergency Ministry on August 8, 2016 shows a veterinarian as she takes a health checkup of deers outside Yar-Sale town at Yamal Peninsula. A recent anthrax outbreak in the far north of Russia left a child dead, 23 people infected and the government scrambling to deploy hundreds of rescue workers and soldiers to stop any further spread. The source, scientists say, seems likely to have been the long-buried corpses of reindeers on Yamal peninsula uncovered as Russia's permafrost melts – and then been passed on to grazing herds.
