A little winter video

So, a long dark winter is almost over, and everyone in town are waiting for the sun these days... The sun came over the horizon on feb. 18th, but doesn't hit town until march 8th, that meaning that if you leave town, climb a mountain or go on a snowmobile trip, you might get to see it sooner.
Although there is no sun, we have hours of light during the day now... It's so beautiful. (Imagine a 3 week long sunrise!!)
Here's a little video we've made, with pictures from this winter, both dark and light - time.
We've had 2 longish trips already, first to Isfjord Radio (100km south west of town), a luxury hotel in the middle of nowhere. Then to Mohnbukta (100 km north east of town) A more primitive cabin/shed in the middle of nowhere.
We haven't seen any polar bears yet, but we saw a lot of tracks in Mohnbukta.
I also went on a 3 day trip with my friend Victor, first night in a cabin, then second night at Isfjord Radio. Great trip with lots of good food, 15 bottles of wine and great drinks.
i had to post the video on Youtube, so press the link below.
