在冰島東南部拍攝的照片

這是我在冰島東南部拍攝的照片

Wildlife in Iceland is not diverse. The biggest and only wild hooved mammal is reindeer. Reindeer were introduced from Norway late in the 18th century originally for farming, but reindeer husbandry the Scandinavian style did not tempt the Icelanders, and the animals were never domesticated. Today the wild reindeer live only in South East and East Iceland, mostly at higher elevations in summer but seek lower grassland, closer to the coast in winter. While their primary habitat is in the deserted expanses by Snæfell, reindeer are seen every year in the territory extending from Vopnafjördur in the north to the Glacier Lagoon in the south.

冰島的野生動(dòng)物沒(méi)有多樣性。最大也是唯一的野生有蹄哺乳動(dòng)物是馴鹿。18世紀(jì)晚期，馴鹿從挪威引進(jìn)，最初是為了農(nóng)耕，但斯堪的納維亞式的飼養(yǎng)馴鹿的方式并沒(méi)有吸引冰島人，而且它們也從未被馴養(yǎng)過(guò)。如今，野生馴鹿只生活在冰島東南部和東部，夏季它們大多生活在海拔較高的地方，但冬季它們會(huì)尋找較低的草原，靠近海岸。雖然它們的主要棲息地是錫·瑞德費(fèi)爾的荒蕪的廣闊土地，但從北部的Vopnafjordur到南部的冰川瀉湖，每年都能看到馴鹿的足跡。

Here are my photos of some reindeer that I met in Hornafjordur (southeast corner of Iceland) in the past 4 years.

這是我過(guò)去四年在Hornafjordur(冰島東南角)拍到的一些馴鹿的照片。
