This continues
a series of talks to the Group by Alec, a long time member, on
unusual plants in unusual places. He recently visited the high
Arctic (80° N) to see the profusion of flowering plants of
diverse form and colour, all in miniature, which appear for a
brief time when snows melt on the flats between glaciers, mountains
and the ocean. The signs of the massive slaughter of whale and
walrus in the past and, currently, of global warming add visual
impact to the story of the region, past and present.
