Now I have already been here in Farmhamna on Spitsbergen’s west coast for a while and some are wondering how things are up here, so far north in the polar night. Well, indeed, when I am travelling the same area under sail during the summer, my travel blog updates are a bit more regular. But the days are not only beautiful but also usually well filled with work and other activities and the meaning of life in such a place is probably not to spend every minute possible on the computer, is it? 🙂
Farmhamna: Trapper station on Spitsbergen’s west coast.
I will write more here later, but to start with, I thought that I should introduce this beautiful and unusual place, so I have created a dedicated Farmhamna page (click here to open). It has the 360 degree panoramas that you may know from similar pages in that section of this website, but also two photo galleries with images from both summer and winter, the latter ones also giving some idea of what Rico, I and the 7 doggies are doing here these days.
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 (3): Die Bäreninsel und Jan Mayen”, with German text Click here for further details!
