Longyearbyen, the largest community on Svalbard, has a population of about 1100 people and about as many snowmobiles. Located in the Advent fjord at the entrance of the Advent valley, this community has an infrastructure fit for a much larger city. |
|  | Dogsleding/sled trip There is a long tradition of dogsledding on Svalbard. The silence, the teamwork between man and dogs, and the grandeur of the scenery surrounding us, left an indelible impression on our memory. |

Isn't that church a great place? We stayed at the 102 as well and enjoyed the food at the Huset just as you did! Great page! | bijo69 Fri Dec 2, 2005 14:51 UTC

Had to re-visit and see your latest updates. The snowmobiling looks like a blast....what a great 3 days you had. Beautiful pics! Compared to nature we seem so insignificant. | annesin Tue Jul 22, 2003 01:28 UTC
