A thousand kilometers south of Greenland’s northernmost coastal stretch lies the last great Arctic tundra. A last stop before the great northern expanses is transformed into Arctic desert. Zackenberg is the name of this Arctic pearl, and in 1992 this area was selected as the ideal place for a High Arctic scientific field station. The Danish Polar Center’s major research effort here is a success, and there is great interest in becoming part of the research that is trying from all conceivable scientific angles to shed light on the dynamics of an Arctic ecosystem.Thomas B. Berg’s research background is wildlife biology. His dedicated work consists of monitoring the land mammals – from lemmings to musk-oxen. The many tasks of the summer takes him far and wide in the landscape, from the ice-filled mouth of Young Sound along the wet grass meadows to the unyielding, windswept boulder fields of the inland area.In this book Thomas B. Berg is generously sharing his unique experiences from the summer stays at Zackenberg. His vivid descriptions and outstanding photographs takes us on an unforgettable journey to this Arctic pearl.View sample pages from the book Zackenberg at our homepage: www.rhodos.dk(Bogen findes også på dansk)

Haiku throughout the seasons, from the yellow pearls of spring to the bright nights of the North, from nature's own afterparty to the snow-covered pine trees.

Fascinated by the beauty of nature, I am setting out on small expeditions of a special kind, curious and with all senses open. Walking slowly through layers of forest undergrowth, visiting ancient mother trees, the walks turns into small spiritual journeys. Nature offers answers to my questions, gives small insights, and feelings of connection, of being one with everything. Following beetles and dragonflies on their paths, zooming in on them, I never know what they will teach me. Because they do teach - I only have to become quiet and listen. And from that space, poetry arises.Poems by Ulla Conrad, www.ullaconrad.comPhotos by Semko Balcerski, www.semko.dk

This book discusses how as humans we can help promote biodiversity and strive for ecological stability through reduced mammal hunting and by maintaining food networks with carnivores at the top of the food chains. Unfortunately, this opportunity has not been utilized. The reason for this is mainly that the hunters' interest organizations have great political power. From being a necessity to provide food, hunting has become a callous hobby or cultural psychopathy. This is in contrast to the fact that only a small minority of the population hunts.The author Stig Nordskilde is a Danish lawyer who has argued for maintaining ecosystems with great biodiversity and against hunters who destroy food networks by killing carnivores and herbivores. He has studied mammalian behaviour in particular, and photographed these in the northern hemisphere, including in Alaska, the Yukon, Greenland, Svalbard, and Scandinavia.

The author of this book, who earlier lived in another Nordic country mooved back to Denmark after retirement from an academic career and desided to explore the nature around Nyborg. The daily promenad with the minidackshound "Carl" gave many beautilful experiences and thoughts. Since the author for many years has had and understranding about stress mediated diseases and had studied how nature has a great healing power she desided to do an attempt to share these nature experiences and thoughts, in order to inspire others to do the same.

Micranthes foliolosa nov. var. sisimiutii is characterized among others by its size and development of 3 capsules, which all opened to throwing seeds in the surroundings. Only the half of the normal 2 capsules opened for spreading seeds. The new variety is found growing near Sisimiut (Greenland) and the plant develops five characteristic growth forms, which all gathered to one of the investigated localities, loc. 2 at the Scout Lake (Nalunnguarfik) at Sisimiut. Micranthes foliolosa nov. var. sisimiutii will only be identified correctly by knowledge to a total local population. In normal botanical collections a single specimen of Micranthes foliolosa nov. var. sisimiutii can contain characters which easily can be misinterpreted belonging to other varieties or subspecies of the species complex Micranthes foliolosa and Micranthes redofskyi or partial Micranthes ferruginea. Micranthes foliolosa nov. var. sisimiutii have more original characters and must be considered to be close to a parent species which may have survived and evolved in the open land just south of the glacial maximum 21.000 years ago in North America. Because of the unique great variation at only one locality (loc. 2, Nalunnguarfik) it is vital for the species Micranthes foliolosa (R. Brown) Gornall and especially Micranthes foliolosa nov. var. sisimiutii Wilken & Jürgensen, why the locality must be protected and preserved for the future.
