Photo by Pete McBride pedromcbride | As winter snows arrive, a reindeer herd crosses a fjord in Norway during the polar night in search of grazing land farther south. These 600-plus reindeer quickly and efficiently swam in a synchronized stride across a one-kilometer-wide fjord in 38°F (2°C) water temps—and then casually shook off and trotted up the icy rocks on the shore to start grazing. For environmental and cultural reasons, the herding tradition is legally reserved for the Indigenous Sami people across some regions of the Nordic countries.
