Life

Hultén appeared as the author of several botanical monographs on the Nordic countries and from his travels in Siberia and the Aleutian islands. In his work he was a tireless traveler who examined and cataloged the plants of the northern hemisphere and collected samples of plants. From 1932 on he explored Alaska and the Aleutian Islands in order to give their plants valid names. He was the first researcher to investigate the similarities of the plants in Alaska with those he had collected on previous trips to Siberia since 1937 in connection with the connection by a land bridge , the Beringia , between Alaska and Siberia during the Ice Age sat.
