Svalbard 78N 15E

This week I flew to Svalbard where we had a 25 hour stop. I brought my dad along. This was the first time on Svalbard for the both of us.



The weather was beautiful +6C (43F) and sunny. The spring had arrived almost a month earlier than what it usually does. We had hoped to go on a sledge or snowmobile trip, but the snow was at such a state that it was not possible. Instead we rented a taxi to drive us around so that we could have a look at the area around town. Not so many roads to drive though – the taxi driver said there was a total of 45km on the island.
