Quad-biking outside Langyearbyen, flying to back to Tromsö and visiting the Ice cathedral, 2009-07-09.

Ingela and Ernst on one of the quads.
Erik and I.
The global seed vault contains a collection of the worlds "all" seeds. A kind of Noah's ark, if you like.


The grey building in the background is where they store the seeds, i.e. the actual seed vault.
Hehe, no I didn't look silly on purpose. It is the goggles, I swear! I think that diving goggles have the same effect..

Erik tries to get close to the raindeers..
View from Tromsö, Rica hotel. In the background is the beautiful Ice cathedral wich was built to resemble stacked ice blocks.

We all went to the midnight concert. It was very different to what we normally do on holiday, but still a nice experience.

Outside the Ice cathedral, after midnight. The midnight sun was at its lowest point.




















Midnight sun view over the water. It looked like everything was in silver. A truly magical light!
