The reindeer's fate is not brought about by humans. The climate up here is not really suited for producing any top soil at all. It's all just material from glacial erosion. The spoil heaps from the coal mines hardly stand out either, it's the same difference. The situation for the animals is the same all over Svalbard, it's not related to areas with mining. Part of the hazards of life to this animal.
