One of the field sites in Adventdalen, free of snow mid summer with clouds looming.
The main street. Yes, this is pretty much all of it. If you walk towards the glacier in the background, you'll reach the barrack that I live in.The student cabin ina nearby valley called Bjoerndalen:
It looks out onto the greater part of the fjord, and is available anytime you want to walk out there with some coal to make a fire and boil drinking water from the river. Amazing.
The view on the walk to the cabin.
Some halting chords with coal-y fingers.
Marco, pasta extraordinaire and maker of ice cubes, me, and the sun.On another weekend, a trip up to Nordenskjiold, the tallest mountain nearby:
Jonathon, Sanna, James, Elke, and Lucas.
The view down to town, I live in the colorful cluster of buildings in the middle of the valley.
At the top, in the sun:
On the way down, Lucas skiied the glacier while the rest of us ran in giant moon leaps down the snow. Not such a bad view for sking (Lucas is the dot):
