still in Akureyri...

we are still in Akureyri
yesterday we walked around in akureyri in beautifull weather and looked at stores and had a lot of good food to eat.
to day the weather was a bit more cloudy, with occassional showers of rain and sun. we rented two cars and drove to myvatn, swam in a cave with very warm water, looked at the geothermal areas, dettifoss and godfoss, asbyrgi, saw whales from a distance near husavik and had a marvelous but slow dinner at strikid, situated on top of a building in akureyri with a great view over akureyri.
tomorrow morning w plan to fly to greenland and strat working and flying helicopters...

Mestersvig again...

it seems like i can never stop going back to my beloved Greenland...

two days ago i came back to Iceland, after spending three weeks in Norway, helping my parents laying floors in their house.

the days in Iceland have been spent catching up with some things on my master thesis, which i am about to be really sick off...

tomorrow i will fly to Akureyri in northern Iceland, where i will stay a night in a hotel and catch up with my fellow co-workers.

Thursday we will fly to Mestersvig, Greenland were we will stay and work for approx two weeks.

altogether we are 7 people, 3 former Sirius members, 1 from station Nord and the rest civilians. we are employed by Quadra mining to clean up and ship home a lot of equipment, fuel drums and garbage from the area around Mestersvig.

an Icelandic ship will be anchored in the bay and we will sleep in containers on the deck and fly helicopter to work every day;0)

it will be long days with many hours of work, so we hopefully will have some time for a small trip or two...

i am not sure if it will be possible to get online, so you just have to wait for my photographs and descriptions from my life...
