Descriptif

Swedish version with english subtitles :  

In Sápmi, a vast region of northern Europe also referred to as Lapland, Samireindeer herders are experts about snow. To reach the ground lichen on whichthey feed in winter, reindeer need to dig through a snowpack whose propertiesconstantly change throughout the winter period. For this reason, the Sami havedeveloped a ‘snow science’ that not only encompasses, as linguists have oftenexclaimed, an exceptional diversity of terms to name and classify snow. Theyhave also cultivated an intimate understanding of physico-chemical processesaffecting the snowpack. In this film, a Sami herder digs a hole in the snow toanalyze and describe how thermal exchanges have transformed the properties ofthe snow since the beginning of the season. He explains how an ice layer, whichformed over the ground surface, disappeared subsequent to a period of warmingto once more render the lichen accessible to grazing reindeer.
