So, speaking of #ReindeerHerders and #Reindeer, apparently, Reindeer are the only #Cervid species that is immune to #CWD (#ChronicWastingDisease).

Since I’m kind of tapped out on fresh mental imagery right now, I’ll sketch the other views of Ronja the #inflatable #reindeer.

That chest fluff, it’s like an airbag. Not quite as impressive as Mitzy’s, but close.

What freezing plants in blocks of ice can tell us about the future of #Svalbard’s plant communities
The polar #willow is a key forage species for Svalbard's #reindeer population. A warming #climate means these plants can be encased in ice rather than snow for much of the winter. Can they survive this?

What freezing plants in blocks of ice can tell us about the future of Svalbard’s plant communities

How will a warming Arctic affect plant growth on Svalbard? Researchers encased plant plots in a thick layer of ice during the winter and used little greenhouses to heat up those plots in the summer. The surprise? The plants that got the harshest treatment did just fine.

From just under a year ago when we were in Alta, Norway and had just visited an ice hotel. With some time to spare afterwards we walked around the area through knee-deep snow in places and found some reindeer and sleighs tied up at the back of the hotel.
