Svalbard Reindeer and the summer tundra

2024, Glazed ceramic, 8x7x4 inches

For over 5,000 years the Svalbard reindeer, the smallest subspecies of reindeer, has grazed on the summer grasses, herbs, lichens, mosses, and wildflowers of the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, Norway. Adaptations to the extreme weather include thick fur, short legs, a great ability to store fat and being super chill!
