- Zusatztext
- Varanger, Norways largest peninsula, captivates every visitor with stunning arctic landscapes and a surprisingly rich variety of wildlife. The biologist and nature photographer Jörg Hemmer takes the reader on a journey across barren tundras, vast highlands and dense boreal forests to Carribean-like beaches and the breathtakingly rugged coastline of the Barents Sea. With more than one hundred inspiring photographs, the author portrays the breeding biology of seabirds, the courtship ritual of ruffs or the hunting strategies of gyrfalcons. He illustrates how plants and animals have adapted to cold climates and how people cope with the challenges of life on the northern edge of Europe. This clearly and concisely written book is a passionate guide to Laplands outpost at the Arctic Ocean.
