#Rendieren Researchers from the Norwegian Pole Institute have found hundreds of dead reindeer located 1200 kilometers from the North Pole. Animals starved last winter because weather conditions change. Reindeers die every winter, but it has only happened once before that such a large number of starving animals were discovered and that was in 2008. The researchers count each year the number of reindeer on Svalbard, an archipelago of glaciers and frozen tudras between Norway and the Arctic. One of the researchers, Åshild Ønvik Pedersen, told the public broadcaster NRK to be shocked by the find.
