The sun is still shining in early October

When I'm on call duty in Svea, I'm coming home in early morning day after when I'm normally coming. From the airplane it looks like town is still in sleep. I'm almost as well.

But some hours later the sun has reached the town. These are the last days when we can see sun shining in the town. When you know it, you just can't stay inside and let the town glide to the shadows again.

  1. Hi, nice pictures as usual! :) Looks really cool to take an airplane to and from work. :D What are all the goods and cargo? Are these for the whole Svalbard? Looks really interesting, maybe there even might be some new packages for the seed vault :P /Cheers! //Michael

    1. Svea is a small isolated community supporting about 300 workers per time. It's situated about 60 km south-east from Longyearbyen, without any connecting ways. With cargo-boats we get everything what is needed in Svea: from pens, coffee and toalettpaper to the huge parts for mining machines. As the seed vault is situated in Longyearbyen, we don't get any packages of seeds in Svea - even though it would be cool :)
