This blog tells the story of Fjord (NOT Rudolph!!) - a little reindeer going to Svalbard with 3 scientists to study glaciers. The team will be in Ny Ålesund for three weeks in July and August. To find out where Svalbard is, what research the scientists are doing, how Arctic fieldwork is conducted, and to ask Fjord and the scientists questions, just have a poke around the site!

Breaking News: Fjord goes for a run

Seen here at the highly exclusive gym in Ny-Ålesund's Samfunshuset, Fjord gets a jog in since he has evidently been riding inside scientists' backpacks for a bit too long. Overheard from the reindeer: "I've just been eating too many Arctic wildflowers"


We have it on good authority that the shoes in the background belong to none other than grad student Allen Pope training on the rowing machine.

    I love the photos and the commentary from Fjord himself. I'm Norwegian-American, and it is a joy to look at your blog.
