Back in the south.

After an amazing time in the north we made it back to Oslo. We used today to do some planning for the next stage of development on North North North and on some NIE future projects.

We also managed an hour of fishing.

Made it back

We made it back to Oslo without seeing a polar bear. The NIE van will now nurse us home.



We are headed south south south.

Last day in the town at the end of the world

North North North

It really feels like this town is at the end of the world - it is the last stop on the plane route - you can only go back from here or head out on foot for the north pole.
This is the hut on top of the hill behind Longyearbyen



And this is part of the glacier with a huge crevasse

This kern is at the top of the hill behind Ny Byen where we stayed.

We want back to museum this morning and I got a book about the various (and mostly disastrous) balloon missions the north pole.


Our plane has landed now so off we go back to Oslo.
