Northernmost plant on earth. Inuit Qeqertaat / Kaffeklubben Island. About 1m from northern edge of the island.
We encountered this stoat while searching for the northern limits of terrestrial plant life in July of 2023. It was living in a small rock cairn near the northern edge of Inuit Qeqertaat (Kaffeklubben Island) which was connected to the mainland by about 1.6km of sea ice.
NOTE ON MAP: iNaturalist and Google do not have accurate maps of the north coast of Greenland. The GPS location of this sighting is precise. I have also uploaded a screenshot of a drone map of the island showing where this location actually is (it's not in the ocean!)
Insectes xylophages faisant des bruits dans les troncs d'épicéas coupés (cf. enregistrement). Plusieurs petits tas de sciure provenant probablement d'eux. Quelqu'un a-t-il une idée de la famille ou genre ? Merci d'avance !
