Snow!

So we have arrived in the lab! And there is snow, polar light (i have been promised, haven't seen it yet) a lot of beautiful wooden lodges, in one of which we can get to sleep this night.
About that, when we landed in Tromso (good flight by the way, no delays) the cabin crew said; "Have a pleasant afternoon" after which we walked into complete darkness... There is light here (pay attention, light, no sun) between 9:30 and 14:00... between that... complete darkness.

So here at the lab there are a lot of people from all over the world, and we have just been talking to some guys from Norway, who are planning to start a couple of labs further down... fun thing is, when we arrived everybody came to us, to meet and greet (and ask where we are from) and then just went on with whatever they were doing... really used to visitors i guess. But it somehow makes you feel at home, like, nobody tells you what to do (we had to ask for a place to sleep) or where to get coffee (found that soon enough tough).

So great place, really nice people, beautiful scenery (mountains, fjords, little lights on the sides between the threes...)
But now i smell pizza, so more later on...
