Early next day after arriving in Reykjavik, Anna and I flew to Copenhagen where my parents picked us up. we were all going to celebrate the 60 year anniversary of the Sirius patrol, on a hotel in Jutland. almost 120 Sirius people showed up with their wifes and girlfriends, some coming from Greenland, some from Jerusalem, Norway, Iceland and elsewhere...
it was great fun to meet old and new friends and spend the day and evening together telling old stories about dogs, snow and similar experiences during more than 26 months in NE-Greenland.
on monday we flew back to Iceland, as Anna needs to work to provide for me and i have some more work to do on my thesis...
i have been asked to come to Antartica as a guide and lecturer on board the Fram ( same ship as this trip), and after some short thinking i accepted. it is not every day you get a chance like this, to work with some nice people, see penguins and see the other icy world...
The first trip will be like this...
therefore i will travel to Buenos Aires in the end of this month and come back in the end of December. i look very much forward to these voyages, unless crossing the Drake passage, as i get quite easy sea-sick...but eating some pills and keeping my food inside my stomach is one of my goals!
The last two trips will be like this
