The images illustrate the work done and documented in the PAGE21 blogs this summer and give a glimpse in to what it is to be a scientist in the field, fighting the mosquitos while measuring permafrost thaw.

 

Also a comprehensive collection of images from Svalbard by Hjalti Þór Hreinsson from the Arctic Portal has been added to the Gallery. These images were taken in Ny Ålesund in August 2012.
