December in the björndalen cabin in Nowhere - one month of blizzards and darkness

December came closer and I could not imagine to fly home.

I fell basically trapped in longyearbyen, this amazing island.

So i decided to move to our Student cabin 15 km outside the town in björndalen and stay there.

 

Thanks to my Snowscooter, i was able to bring all my stuff and enough food to the cabin and get supplies fromthe town, when i needed them.

 

Now, i would say that this month was one of my most awesome experiences until now.

I remember most of the time as one huge Dark and cold blizzard. Most of the time the cabin was shaking when i woke up and i could rarely see anything outside the cabin.

 

my typical day was firing the stove, cook some tea and food, read books and dream inside the day/night thinking about everything and nothing. it sounds incredibly boring, but this was the time, were the time stopped running, all stress and hurry didn't exist anymore and I could relax like never before. Every day or night (it didn't really matter) with some Moonlight or northern lights or even starb light was used for short skiing trips inside the valley, to the shore or just for sitting outside and watching the sky.

 

The first week I also had a compagnion, tundrak an awesome greenland dog, who loved to go out in every weather. Some more visitors came over Christmas, so that we had a nice celebration, even with a christmas tree and awesome food. For new, year i wanted to go to the town, but the shaking cabin due to a huge Blizzard in the morning changed my mind.
