We are very grateful to the many park rangers and interested private persons who have aided our field surveys, notified us about finds and provided local information. This has been a productive season for snow patch finds, with many new sites and increasing the number of recorded species to at least 15 birds and mammals, as well as one fish! Now it is time to pry some data out of all the finds. The season of lab work, dating and scientific writing has begun.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_173\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-173\" style=\"width: 950px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogg.vm.ntnu.no\/frozenfauna\/files\/2014\/11\/IMG_5034k.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-173 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/blogg.vm.ntnu.no\/frozenfauna\/files\/2014\/11\/IMG_5034k.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"950\" height=\"634\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-173\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This year we have begun a good collaboration with Sami institutions within traditionally South Sami districts.
