Quick update on yesterday’s day 3 fun in Svalbard- Shelley and I had a lot of fun going on an historic walking tour for a few hours in Svalbard’s Adventdalen… From checking out methods science folk use to measure climate change and the permafrost’s status, to relic bear traps used by hunters during Svalbard’s untamed days, chilling in Barentz Hus for some tales of the Barentz expedition, many facts about polar bears & the Svalbard reindeer and more… Definitely was worth it.
Being Albertan, the cold wasn’t too crazy for us, especially as we were prepared for it (-19 without much of a breeze fortunately that day).
PS- again about those filters; it really was pitch black out there! A dim light was very briefly seen from the suns orbit where it only outlined against the mountain crest, but this created a super cool effect with the camera filter!!
We pretty much took it easy and napped for the rest of the day; we likely will only pop in town for shopping today.. So there’s a break from Svalbard pics for a few days Lol (unless we get wicked awesome Auroras while walking around maybe!)
