This blog tells the story of Fjord (NOT Rudolph!!) - a little reindeer going to Svalbard with 3 scientists to study glaciers. The team will be in Ny Ålesund for three weeks in July and August. To find out where Svalbard is, what research the scientists are doing, how Arctic fieldwork is conducted, and to ask Fjord and the scientists questions, just have a poke around the site!

Fjord in Cambridge

Although the weather in Cambridge is beautiful, I'm getting itchy hooves. I want to go North - and it will happen soon! We're heading to Svalbard on July 21 (with an overnight stop in Tromsø), so it won't be long now. Some of the packing has already begun and we have most of the kit we need.

The only major thing left is to get the field spectroradiometer - the one machine the expedition depends on! Allen & I are heading up to Edinburgh tomorrow to get it and to get trained. I'll let you know how it goes.
