A global showcase

When marine science major Sally Bornhorst studied abroad for the spring semester in Denmark, her Polar Biology class went on an excursion to arctic Norway to experience many of the things they had learned about in the classroom, including native communities and their ways of life. While there, the group learned about S谩mi culture and the native reindeer herders, and reindeer鈥檚 adaptations to living in the arctic. They then got to meet and feed the reindeer, a highlight of the trip.
