A huddle of wooden buildings by an icy fjord on Norways's island of Spitsbergen, high in the Barents Sea, it is the world's most northerly civilian settlement. Ten countries--Norway, France, Germany, Britain, the Netherlands, Italy, Japan, South Korea, India and China--have research stations in the village, and scientists from many others pass through. All are welcome to the twin wonders of Arctic conditions and Norwegian management. If you want to study clouds, barnacle geese, seismology, sea ice, zooplankton and any number of pollutants, all indicators of how the Arctic and the world are changing, Ny-Alesund is the place. The only rules are: remove your boots inside, carry a rifle outside (there are often polar bears about) and fly no national flags. The marble lions outside the Chinese station are tolerated but frowned upon. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
