From Bergen to Spitsbergen

Dag Erik and I just returned from a Nor-Can expedition to an Arctic research town (Ny Ålesund; population ca. 30) on an island called Spitsbergen (Svalbard). Dag Erik was going up to visit his sister, who works there as a cook, and I got to tag along. It was a great experience and the nature was fantastic with the snow-covered mountains, glaciers etc. I made some photo pages of the trip. The links are below if you're curious to see what life was like for two BIC members at 79 degrees north. And yes, it can get cold up there.
