Join us on a private tour for an hour-long exploration of LARS and its inhabitants. You will learn about the life history, biology, and ecology of reindeer and musk oxen. Past and current research will also be included in the tour. The credit union will be providing water and a packaged snack. The LARS facility has a gift shop, so also consider purchasing a souvenir to support their work.
