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!

If you were thinking that we're the only team doing cool research in Ny-Ålesund, then (although we might be flattered) you'd be wrong. Here's a cool article (Looking for the Coolest forms of Life on Earth) from ScienceDaily about a team of UK scientists using glaciers in the area to simulate what conditions life might have to deal with on Mars. They're even keeping a blog, so if you need your Ny-Alesund fix after we're gone, you can get it here.
