The Svalbard archipelago - Where is it? And who lives there? Professor Elizabeth Vierling went there and found out: Birds, bears, walruses, arctic plants and glaciers. Join her for a photographic tour of Svalbard's terrain, fauna, and flora. 

Dr. Vierling is a semi-retired UMass professor of biochemistry and molecular biology who has spent her whole career investigating how plants respond to the environment at the molecular and cellular level. Her lab website: https://sites.biochem.umass.edu/vierlinglab/  She is a forever beginning birder who loves to watch a chickadee as much as seeing a species for the first time.
