It's 10pm in Longyearbyen....still light as the sun will not set again until August 23rd.... wow, this reallymesses with your brain. The temp is a balmy -22.24 degrees. (yess, they give the temps that way) Last check it was -38 at the pole. We leave tomorrow at 4pm, arrive 89 degrees North at 9pm. The marathon is set for 2:30pm on Tuesday. Fly back to Longyearbyen on Wednesday.
It is hard to descibe this place. All the roads are ice. A few cars which are mainly taxis or delivery vehicles - everything else is by snowmobile. A polar bear wandered into town yesterday.... yup, that sums it up.
