Текст научной статьи Botanical Excursions on the Sørøya Island in Northern Norway
More and more Russian tourists visit Scandinavian countries, i.e. Norway. Scientific, ecological and natural tourism represent one of popular trends of Russian–Norwegian international cooperation.
Norwegian publishing House Grafika AS has issued bilingual (Norwegian and Russian) guidebook «Botanical excursions on the northern Sørøya (Finnmark, Norway)» [1, 2013]. The Guidebook adds to better understanding of nature and plant life not only of the Sørøya Island, the largest of northern Norwegian isl-
ands, but also of the whole Northern Norway. The book is a result of cooperation project which was supported by Barents- Sekretariat in 2011—2013, and initiated by the ecologists of Hammerf- est Kommune (Northern Norway) and scientists of Flora and Vegetation Department of Polar-Alpine Botanical Garden-Institute (Kirovsk, Russia).
