I honestly don't know where to start with the pictures. My desktop is a view from the boat deck, which is a 20 minute speed boat ride north of the actual Arctic line. We were staying with my friend and her partner further north in a town called Ornes for most of the trip, but spent 3 days with her parents (and the sheep) on their farm. The nearest shop is a boat trip to Rodoy, an island 20 minutes out in the fjord, or its a road trip inland to a supermarket an hour away. I thought my aunt was remote in West Virginia!


Fresh snow 21st June


The west side of the glacier on the lower 'Small Dam'


The dreaded 'dried cod'

The fjord from the farm as the sun is lower in the sky (about mid-night)

As low as it gets, 00.45am

This is the south side of the glacier and the part Christine, our daughter climbed in 2007 with 2 very dishy looking guides.

Anne's father's boat moored up for lunch.

The Arctic Line marker.


Another view of the setting sun north of Ornes with the memorial of those lost in a submarine in the bay during the war.

sunny midday from the house.

very nice! What a very pretty place too. I love the last one of the house and the first "sunset" pic. Or was that sunrise?

This time of the year sunset and sunrise are about the same thing up there, aren't they??

Yes, very nice pictures.

Yes, very nice pictures.

Thanks.
Halle's photo's are so much better, but then he has a super-dooper camera.

The first is a sunset, to the point the sun disappears behind the island for about 10 minutes.
The second is sunrise, because that was past the lowest point. It doesn't actually hit the horizon line at all this time of year.
