Description:
A reindeer corral made out of ice blocks set-up out on the tundra. Rex explains how they got ice from different lakes each year, so the reindeer didn't feed at the same spot every year. This gave the tundra a chance to grow back from the eating and trampling damage.
Listen to Rex Ahvakana talk about the photo.
