Chris­tia­ne Hüb­ner (Lon­gye­ar­by­en Feltbio­lo­gis­ke Fore­ning) is the edi­tor of the book­let, which is avail­ab­le in Eng­lish, Nor­we­gi­an and Ger­man.

All aut­hors will be pre­sent during the offi­cial pre­sen­ta­ti­on, which will inclu­de a litt­le excur­si­on. Ever­y­bo­dy who hap­pens to be in Lon­gye­ar­by­en on June 30 is wel­co­me. No pro­blem if you are not the­re: the book­let will soon be avail­ab­le on this web­site.
