Images from Svalbard - Kuvia Huippuvuorilta

As a part of my Master of Science degree in Polar and Alpine science at the University of Sheffield, I was lucky to spend a 12 days period in the Arctic Norway of Svalbard (Huippuvuoret in Finnish). All our field studies were placed around Longyearbyn, which is the largest town in Svalbard. The whole class including PhD students and visiting researchers stayed in a small hut located beside a local husky farm (not much sleep I am afraid!!) and for six days we adventured the local glaciers of Foxfonna, Longyearbyn and Riprebreen. Below is a collection of photos taken by myself during the trip. Enjoy!
