Have been having an amazing time, sorry I couldn\u2019t do the live blogging yesterday- the website wasn\u2019t working. Ny Alesund is the most northerly town in the world- and at the moment probably the quietest- it almost feels deserted although quite a lot of research etc. goes on here. I hope you saw my video that was posted yesterday- if you did you would have heard me talk about the glacier we saw crumbling- yesterday afternoon an even bigger bit broke off and now there is a massive great chunk of ice sitting in the sea which wasn\u2019t there two days ago. The face of the glacier has changed so much in the 3 days we have been here- it is scary how much to think it will have changed in a year\u2019s time. What is even more scary is the noise the ice makes as it breaks- like thunder- and the way the water erupts in a huge wave and floods onto the beach.<\/p>\n<p>We also completed our group art project yesterday- an arrangement of ice and ice sculptures in shapes, walls and balances- the piece was all about balance and hopefully you will see some good pictures of it soon. Everyone worked together to complete it and it took a while- it was such a sense of achievement to finish it and to see what we had created.<\/p>\n<p>Today we were doing a dance piece in a place called \u2018London\u2019 on an island called Blomstrand- it was a very reflective piece of Indian movement and we were all spread out on the rocks down to the beach \u2013 it should be pretty awesome to watch because we were all moving together and with this beautiful background behind us- it was a very peaceful and relaxing thing to do but just a little bit cold!- I couldn\u2019t feel my toes at the end even though I had 8 layers and about 3 pairs of socks on!<\/p>\n<p>Hope you\u2019re all good, thanks for all your comments and sorry I can\u2019t answer them all!<\/p>\n<p>Love Nonie xx x xx x xx<\/p>\n<p>P.S. My big toes misses you too thank you Kate and Emily! !<br \/>\nAnd Gaby you don\u2019t get Eskimos in the Norweigan Arctic!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[photopress:Sunlight.jpg,full,pp_image] How\u2019s it going?
