Arctic Adventure 2025

These pages describe a trip that my wife and I undertook to Norway in August/September 2025, visiting Oslo, Dovrefjell and – the principal objective – Svalbard and its environs. We wanted to see the North Pole* before some dangerous clown goes and melts it.

Phase I – Dovrefjell

A Musk-see sight

Troll Freaks

Phase transition – to Oslo

Staving off boredom

North! to Ala…Svalbard

Skidoo Row

Intermission,  or maybe Pre-mission

*Look, I know we won’t get anywhere near the North Pole. But I’m still worried about the dangerous clown. And the geopolitical shenanigans which threaten to engulf the region.
