visitors hours are due...

everyone arrived the day after the were supposed to do!
the last week has been used, to show my father and brother the station, my dogs, dog sledging and a rubber boat trip on the fjord.

most of the time the weather has been marvelous with lots of sunshine and calm winds.

the ice in the fjord started breaking up a few days ago. we managede to manouver between drifting ice to Sandøen where a colony of whalrus was sleeping.
yeasterday we managed to push three rubber boats over some ice and made it to Zackenberg reaserch station. one of the boats got caught in the ice and we helped them by taking pictures and video...hehe

to-night we are leaving for Mestersvig, were we will stay for the night.
then tomorrow, it's Iceland and vaccation...

this is my last day after being here at Daneborg and SIRIUS for more than 2 years!

last week on Daneborg...

I´m entering my last week on Daneborg.
tomorrow my father and brother will join me here for the "parental visit".
they will stay here with me untill the 15th, when we all fly down to Mestersvig. here my father will stay and prepare our boat for some vaccation with friends for the next month or so.

my brother and I will fly to Iceland on the 16th. He will retur to Denmark and Norway on the 17th, while I will stay in Iceland untill the 22.

today we had a helicopter landing and refueling twice. they were looking on some of the old trappers cabin in the terrain.

the weather has been lovely the last week, with temperature around +4-9 degrees celsius.

the fjord is still covered in ice. it´s not the best thing for our visitors, but we will still have fun! maby it will break up and disappear while they are here...

cheers
