Solfestuka

I came from the holiday just on the end of Solfestuka (=The Sun Festival Week). The celebration for to get the sun back was already over (that's always at the 8th of March) but for me the most important happenings are Ta sjansen (a competition for funny sledges) and Solfestrevy (=The Sun Festival Revue).

Ta sjansen is usually on the other side of the fjord in Hiorthhamn, but this year it was arranged on the root of Sarkofagen because lack of snow and icy conditions. Usually we have been joining the happening with frozen fingers and freezing us but enjoying the sun over the mountains. This year there were no any problems to hold us warm in the mild weather, but also the sun was lacking as arrangement was in the shadow for addition to cloudy day.

But Solfestrevy didn't disappointed us. That is kind of round-up for everything what has been happening in the previous year in Svalbard. And as usually, nobody can feel safe - anything can be taken up!
