We have finally arrived in Ny Alesund!\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was quite a lot of work to get here. The kids and the adults spent the entire night taking turns on night duty in 2-hour sessions. This involved waking up in the middle of the night, putting all their warm gear on, and standing on deck with the captain to help sail the boat, pull up sails and watch out for icebergs in the ocean around us. The kids\u00a0worked really hard\u00a0all night, and as a result, are very tired today. \u00a0However, arriving in Ny Alesund made all that hard work worth the while. It is\u00a0absolutely breathtaking!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Today, the weather is beautiful…warm and sunny…blue skies all around us.<\/p>\n
News flash<\/strong>: the weather forecast is predicting snow and sleet\u00a0as of tomorrow\u00a0(17 September 2007) and possibly the rest of the week, which means our internet connection may be slow or affected by the weather. \u00a0\u00a0We\u00a0expect that our\u00a0blogging and videos will be posted as scheduled, however it may changed slightly if we are not able to properly connect.<\/p>\n We have arrived at the Sverdrup Institute. We were greeted by Carl Petter Nielsen, an optical engineer, who has gratiously allowed us to use this facility as a basecamp for\u00a0scientific analysis and art composition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We have finally arrived in Ny Alesund!\u00a0 It was quite a lot of work to get here.
