We still have sunrises for about a month. We have a couple of new instruments to be installed at the observatory and the container with the radar electronics should also arrive soon. Of course, we will need to wait for snow and frozen ground in order to transport the missing container into the middle of the radar array. Off-road transports in Svalbard are only allowed when you can do it without leaving deep tractor trails etc.
Antennit on vielä pystyssä / The main array waiting for the radar electronics |
Pari astetta pakkasen puolella, mainio keli! / Driving back from the observatory |
Kiirunoillakin on talviturkit jo päällä / We are all waiting for snow |
Trollsteinen & Sarkofagen |
Nää on luultavasti sepelhanhia, jotka eivät ole täällä kovin yleisiä |
Isolokki / Polarmåke / Glaucous gull |
Merisirrejäkin on vielä rannalla / "The lone piper on the battlements of Edinburgh Castle was silhouetted against..." |
