And today’s conditions are just a taste of what is to come. The mercury is expected to rise by seven to eight degrees Celsius in winter in Finnmark by the end of this century, according to Rasmus Benestad, a researcher at the Nor- wegian Meteorological Institute. A recurring problem for the reindeer now is alternating peri- ods of thaw and freezing, which create thick layers of ice that the starving reindeer are unable to penetrate with their hooves. When reindeer can’t access the lichen and moss on their herd- er’s grazing grounds, the flocks seek out other pastures. This can cause conflicts between herders over grazing grounds, which are not officially demarcated, and even their herders, into the deep. “Our main concern is that the herder, is worried about the may require the herders to resort “It’s getting worse and worse,” says Arctic is becoming increasingly potential impact of a Canadian to the onerous and heavy task of another herder, alarm in his voice. accessible as it gets warmer, lead- mining company’s alleged inter- putting out fodder. “Last year, I lost at least 12 rein- ing to an explosion of human est in land near his pastures.

The fruit-laden des- sert pancake is elegant in its dessert is healthful simplicity - glorious, golden brown and sugar dusted. And nearly all it entails is making a basic pancake batter, pouring it into a pie dish, adding the fruit and baking it. The accompanying recipe is a more healthful yet equally sump- tuous take on the classic, using tender whole-grain pastry flour instead of all-purpose flour, and honey instead of refined sugar. It also calls for low-fat milk to more comfortably allow for some butter in the batter, but if you prefer whole milk to low-fat, that would be fine as well. The taste of the honey shines through beautifully here, and its fla- vour is lovely with the fresh raspberries. The French dish was born to make delicious use of what- ever fruit is in peak season, so feel free to use what you find to be espe- cially prime at the market or farm stand this spring or at any time of year.
