Yep, I think we finally found our shangri-la location in this world… Svalbard is a remote spot without a ton of people, a bit wild in fact outside of the town limits, but with all the old people comforts we are getting used to in our old age lol… Plus, the cold here is what we are used to anyways, I’ve always loved winter!! (Except for when doing winter survival as a young fella for weeks out in the bush, or when climbing around structural later as an Ironworker - especially when it’s epoxy coated 😬). Lots on the go for the next little bit, but the next big highlight will be hunting for Northern Lights out there in a Snowcat tomorrow, & joining in the town’s tradition for lighting up the Longyearbyen Christmas 🎄 tree & walk to Santa’s mailbox by torch light the next day! PS- a few pics of the sky as we left Oslo at 8:45am this morning, another at 9:48am, and the next at 11:25am Lol… Bumping hips with the arctic circle for sure!
