Hello everyone,
it snowed all day today and the conditions were not ideal for flying. But we had a good alternative program! In the morning, we were given a guided tour of the Swedish Institute of Space Physics and got to see various observation devices and satellite models. Of course, we also wanted to spend some time outside in the fresh snow and enjoyed the winter wonderland on walks in the afternoon and late evening. Mika loved it outside, finally some really nice snow and not just the icy residue left over after the thaw of the last few days. He even saw a snow hare and these three funny unicorns. They’ve never been spotted here in Kiruna before. Very special!
Tomorrow the conditions will be better again and the next flight will head north. Stay tuned!
