The inspiration behind the name Iskoras
Iskoras is the name of a mountain far north in Karasjok community in Norway. In this area permafrost is beginning to thaw due to climate change, with the potential of releasing significant amounts of methane and CO2 into the atmosphere. This area has been part of research projects for years to understand what to expect as the world’s real extensive permafrost regions begin to thaw. In this sense, the mountain Iskoras plays a “canary in the coal mine” role, signaling what’s to come.
