Spitsbergen Report No. 4

November 17th 2001



Snow and birthday



A lot of time has passed and everything increased a lot, especially the shortness of the days and serotonin deficiency. Therefore a lot of pictures with people.

Birthday at this latitude possible
Although we're so far in the north you still have birthday.

Full kitchen

This is what my kitchen looks like from the other end during a birthday party. The white cellulose around my neck is tibetian praying scarf, Kada. My tibetian neighbour Pu Dopwang (powerful Thursday) gave it to me that it may be a source of luck and peace in the soul. Peacefully falling snowflakes and -10 degrees Celsius also reminded of the christian chrismas.

institution of education

The university. I go there almost every day, meaning every 24 hours.

diligent student
Every student has his/her own studying table, with the fjord in sight.

Tourists' photo

The most abundant motive p�hele Svalbard (with Danish and French).

Tough life here, man.
Viva Italia!!!

centuries-old snow
Leisure on Sunday: The glacier channel. Larsbreen offers great opportunities to the outdoor freak. By now you also need to be head light fan.

Juhu!
Gipfelglück (impossible to translate, near "summit pleasure"). Jon from Sweden and me celebrate ourselves as subduers of Trollsteinen.

Desperado
The country is wide.

ICING!
On the summit of Nordenskildtoppen: atmospheric icing for "connoisseurs"

Trollsteinen
True heroes are lonesome. True

chamber of handicraft
The railway station is near the chamber of handicraft.

Islandnostalgie
The shadows become longer.


This is what a spitsbergian river looks like after a few weeks of frost.
