苔原村庄,Moriusaq,格陵兰,2006 摄影:David McLain
Moriusaq这个小小的村庄位于格陵兰西北的冻土地带。这块居住区附近的海冰曾经厚到每年在上面活动、打猎的范围达到数百英里的时间长达足足十个月。但是最近,气候的变化使这段时间减少到每年仅有短短的几周。

website: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ From 33 founders in 1888, to a worldwide team today of thousands of dedicated individuals, National Geographic stands at the forefront of exploration, research, and scientific discoveries. The results educate people everywhere, helping them consider today's ever changing world and their place in it. Philanthropic support is critical, propelling projects and expeditions that inspire us all to care about the planet. The National Geographic Society has supported and chronicled the achievements of renowned explorers and researchers for more than a century. In doing so, the Society developed many related programs for grant-making, scientific research, education, and public outreach. In 1996, these diverse programs were organized under a single banner—Mission Programs—recognizing that all the efforts were focused on the same core mission: to increase and diffuse geographic knowledge while promoting conservation of the world's cultural, historical, and natural resources. These core scientific and education programs operate behind the scenes of the more recognizable arms of the National Geographic, from the Yellow Border magazine to the National Geographic Channel, providing additional media content.
