  ” Harbour Seal
  Humans and seals have coexisted in the arctic ecosystem for thousands of years. In older times, seals provided meat and skin for Icelanders. Today, however, seals play na insignificante economic role. Seals are curious creatures and have a certain mystique to them. Their beautiful eyes and calm gaze form na instante attraction and partly explain their strong presence in Icelandic folklore.

  Harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) and grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) are the only species to pup in Iceland, but a few others visit regularly. The harbour seal is the most common. It can get up to 2 m long and weighs over 100kg. The male is most often slightly larger than the female. In June, the female gives birth to on pup. I tis nurtured for 3 – 4 weeks, but after that it has to take care of itself.

  ” Highland Traveleers
  Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) are newcomers to Iceland. They were introduced in the 18th century as na attempt to expand Icelandic farming. However, Icelanders never mastered reindeer herding and kept to their traditional sheep farming.

  Reindeer have a circumpolar distribution and have been domesticated for over 2.000 years. This hardy animal has evolved unique adaptations to survive in the cold Arctic, including a thick coat and large hooves.

  The Icelandic reindeer population consists of around 4.000 animals that are confined to the East and Southeast of Iceland. The females calve in late May and during summer they form large herds roaming the highlands. In early autumn the males join the herds for the breeding season. In winter, the herds break u pinto smaller groups, which are often seen in the lowlands, seeking regure from the hardship of winter frosts.
  Throughout the years the people of East Iceland have hunted reindeer for meat and skin, and used its horns for tool making and handicraft. Today the reindeer plays and importante role in the identify of East Iceland and the locals proudly welcome guests to meet these highland travellers. ”
