n 1976 Prof. Claes Andrén, researcher and filmmaker, travelled to Iran together with fellow researcher, Prof. Göran Nilson. While producing four films for the Swedish Television they were also able to do some exciting research. One of the reptiles they were able to study was the recently identified Latifis Viper that is unique to the Lar Valley in the Alborz Mountains. Dam construction in the area threatened the viper´s existence. War and political instability have made it impossible to search for the viper to see if it survived. Supported by the National Geopgraphic Society they undertook two new expeditions, the first in the year 2000 and the second in 2002. After a difficult search they succeeded in locating the Latifis Viper that has managed to survive in the Lar Valley.
