The Mapping Authority gave me a car to use while I was in Ny-Ålesund. I felt deeply honoured and well taken care of. (Now, you can not have your guests running around by themselves, getting attacked by polar bears, so there was actually a security precaution for reason). And it was not as if I could have run away with the car, as Ny Ålesund only has about 5 km of road.
The entrance to the Mapping Authorities’ and NASA’s station in Ny Ålesund has snow showels and reindeer horns by the door…
I ventured out alone without a gun
(not recommended practice),
and thought I saw something white and furry in the snow up above me in this mountain side.
...Luckily it was a polar fox,
not a polar bear.
Post processing, editing recordings after a long day in the field. The soft light throught the curtains is due to the midnight sun (yes, already in April there is midnight sun)
I found this device in a shed,
it might look as if it can turn gravity on and off.
Note the up/down switch… didn’t dare to touch it!
