Here Are My Photos Of Reindeer In Southeast Iceland

这是我在冰岛东南部拍摄的照片

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.

冰岛的野生动物没有多样性。最大也是唯一的野生有蹄哺乳动物是驯鹿。18世纪晚期，驯鹿从挪威引进，最初是为了农耕，但斯堪的纳维亚式的饲养驯鹿的方式并没有吸引冰岛人，而且它们也从未被驯养过。如今，野生驯鹿只生活在冰岛东南部和东部，夏季它们大多生活在海拔较高的地方，但冬季它们会寻找较低的草原，靠近海岸。虽然它们的主要栖息地是锡·瑞德费尔的荒芜的广阔土地，但从北部的Vopnafjordur到南部的冰川泻湖，每年都能看到驯鹿的足迹。

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