Ny Alesund - first impressions



We land, and exit the plane.  Super strong winds.  A vehicle comes to pick us up at the airport... which really has no actual buildings but maybe there's an antenna (other than the enormous scientific one).  We get in the Eurobus and in 5 minutes are dropped off at 'reception' at the mess hall, where we are given keys with room and building #'s.  I expected to be sharing a room with fellow NASA Goddardites, but no dice, we are spread out and no one  is sharing a room.  Instant isolation.  These two pics were taken by Inge.  They show the surrounding mountains and glaciers.
