Deercember Day Six: Mountain Reindeer | Baskets and Bouquets

The mountain reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus)—also called the Norwegian reindeer, northern reindeer, common reindeer, or mountain caribou—is a medium to large subspecies of the reindeer who is native to the western Scandinavian Peninsula, particularly Norway. Reindeer/caribou on the whole have what is called a "circumpolar distribution", which is a range that occurs over a wide span of longitudes but only a narrow band of latitudes, and they call the Arctic, subarctic, tundra, boreal, and mountainous regions of Northern Europe, Siberia, and North America home. Reindeer hooves are somewhat soft during warmer months, but in the Winter, their hooves become hard and sharp for breaking through the ice to forage vegetation, particularly the aptly-named reindeer lichen (Cladonia rangiferina). Reindeer eyes also adapt to the different light levels across the changing of the seasons by changing colour; their tapetum—the part of the eye behind the iris—changes from gold in the Summer to purple-blue in the Winter. This change is not directly visible externally, but allows the animal to see optimally across the dramatic day and night lengths of the polar region. Reindeer are the only successfully semi-domesticated deer on a large scale in the world, and both wild and domestic reindeer have been an important source of food, clothing, and shelter for Arctic people throughout history and are still herded and hunted today. More information here about mountain reindeer, and here about reindeer/caribou.

Iceland: Hunt For Polar Lights

More spectacular landscapes on our way trough the south of Iceland. Even some reindeers crossed our path. But still no polar lights until we reached Reykjavik. So, we decided to have a night out with some beer and live music. To our surprise, we got a notice about sightings of northern lights just outside the city. A few moments later we’ve been on our search for a dark spot with less light…

"Unlike other mammals, reindeer can see light in the ultraviolet spectrum."

"Researchers traveled to the Cairngorms mountains in the Scottish Highlands, which hosts more than 1,500 species of lichen as well as Britain’s only reindeer herd. They found reindeer moss absorbs UV light, meaning the white lichen that humans have trouble seeing against the snow stands out as dark patches to the animals."

2,300-Year-Old Plush Bird from the Altai Mountains of Siberia (c.400-300 BCE): crafted with a felt body and reindeer-fur stuffing, all of which remains intact

This artifact was sealed within the frozen barrows of Pazyryk, Siberia, for more than two millennia, where a unique microclimate enabled it to be preserved. The permafrost ice lense formation that runs below the barrows provided an insulating layer, preventing the soil from heating during the summer and allowing it to quickly freeze during the winter; these conditions produced a separate microclimate within the stone walls of the barrows themselves, thereby aiding in the preservation of the artifacts inside.

This is just one of the many well-preserved artifacts that have been found at Pazyryk. These artifacts are attributed to the Scythian/Altaic cultures.

Currently housed at the Hermitage Museum.
