In a newspaper article in Nordlys, Steinar Thorvaldsen tells about Laestadius’ pioneering work as a botanist. Among other things, Laestadius discovered a new plant, which later was named after him, the Papaver laestadianum or Papaver radicatum ssp. laestadianum (Læstadius-valmuen).
A series of photographs with the title “Læstadius lever” by photographer and journalist Ole Magnus Rapp is now available at our homepage.
Pdf versions of the presentations at our first network meeting held in Tromsø in October 2015 are now available her.
