Grumant 2

Back from Tempelfjorden, my father left and the first weekend was used for another trip to Grumant

First possibility to show the new students in my semester one of my favourite places around Longyearbyen. 

first challenge: crossing Longyearelva

On the top of Plateaubeget, awesome weather

Reindeers on an old snow field

and a compass plant

The way down to Björndalen was a bit more fun

Finally: Grumant

exploring the buildings

meeting the locals

and the way back

Kjersti tried different ways to cross rivers with short hiking shoes: jumping, climbing and finally Riley as a ferry

Tempelfjorden 2

Finally i have the opputunitiy to stay for longer than just a few week.

I got a place at the northernmorst University center in Svalbard for Arctic Technology.

But before the courses startetd we used the time for another trip.

Again a father, son, dog trip this time a bit further to tempelfjorden with Roman a new companion

Reindeers at Reveneset

planning the next hike

and we chosed a nice mountain top

everyone enjoyed the view

But the small things are as beautiful as the landscapes (here polar widow)
