send you PM, sorry did not think about it, oeps!

I know not everyone is on Facebook, so posting this here as well: anyone up for a hike on the Friday? Specifically this one Friday morning, “medium demanding, no glacier hiking experience required”. I’m going with or without you (:rofl:), but would love to have Postcrossing company!

I posted this in the FB group, but it bears repeating:

Norwegians - remember your passport! Oslo-Longyearbyen is not a domestic flight and there’s passport control in Tromsø.

(I hadn’t thought about bringing my passport until a colleague who went to Svalbard in March happened to mention it…!)

Is there someone who like to swap with me pls?

Have a great time …

Some photos of Longyearbyen and Svalbard, as they were asked earlier, for those who couldn’t make it. :slight_smile: :svalbard_and_jan_mayen: :polar_bear:

On the way to Tromsø

After the take-off from Tromsø (we had a landing and passport controll in Tromsø)

Getting nearer Longyearbyen and Svalbard. It was completely dark already at 2 pm!

A polar bear at the airport

The main shopping street in Longyearbyen

Some of us stayed at Mary-Ann’s Polarriggen. Can warmly recommend if someone travels to Svalbard!

Svalbard reindeer, an endemic reindeer species of Svalbard, adapted to the harsh conditions. You could see reindeer right in the town and they weren’t afraid of people!

Svalbard church, the northernmost church of the world

Special Norway stamps with Svalbard motifs :polar_bear:

Some of us participated in different activities, such as dog sledding with a cart, besides the meeting

Mail boxes outside the post office. We surely did fill the box for mail for the mainland Norway and abroad! :postbox: :postcrossing: :heart_eyes:
