Frostbite and Icy Streets

Today I rested - I needed a break and man did it feel good to sleep in and get a little work done in the afternoon. Its amazing how fast time flies here. Several others went out on very long ski trips and hikes; they came back with great stories...and some with frostbite on their fingers and noses.

During my walk into town today, I came across a couple of examples that show how traveling by car or scooter in Longyearbyen is not without risk...



This scooter slammed right into the Nybyen sign!
