Loo­king back at 2015 – Sep­tem­ber

Posted on 7. January 2016 by Rolf Stange

Mean­while, I had the gre­at plea­su­re to spend a very memo­r­able week with the Ice­lan­dic schoo­ner Ópal in Scores­by­sund in east Green­land. What can I say.

They don’t get to see too many the­re.

By the way, my new book is in print and it can now be orde­red 🙂 it is a pho­to book with the tit­le “Nor­we­gens ark­ti­scher Nor­den (1): Spitz­ber­gen – vom Polar­licht bis zur Mit­ter­nachts­son­ne”, with Ger­man text Click here for fur­ther details!
