![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/gzPLfOK.jpg) quite surprised there is no topic on the only european eclipse for many years. obviously both Faroes and Svalbard are a little out of the way, but still only a couple flight hours away. anyway the event is over, the weather on svalbard was unexpectedly splendid with totally clear sky -18 celsius and calm air and the view was awesome with the arctic backdrop. from longyearbyen with love   | ||

Edit: how is Spitsbergen? I've always been curious how life must be for people who live on such a cold distant location. I'd like to visit some day. | ||

Well I see you are Norwegian, so it's not that far for you, is it? With Norwegian resuming regular services, it's actually very cheap to fly to Longyear (when there isn't an eclipse). The real killer is accomodation, but during summer, camping should be fantastic and is free and legal almost everywhere (with apropriate polar bear protection).PS: aren't you by any chance from around Oslo? If yes, don't you know an usable and reasonably priced car repair shop in the area? Right now my (very old) car is parked at the Gardemoen airport with broken front vipers and it's supposed to be raining a lot next week ... | ||
