This morning, we had our Polar Bear safety briefing and logistics run through with our program coordinator Sarah and expedition leader Theres. They are AMAZING!
Costa and Electric QT went to the Global Seed Vault in the afternoon. We couldn't go in (Costa gave the door a try) but it was still interesting to see the structure and get another view of Spitsbergen. Hello from Longyearbyen, the largest town on the largest island Spitsbergen in the archipelago known as Svalbard. This morning, we had our Polar Bear safety briefing and logistics run through with our program coordinator Sarah and expedition leader Theres. They are AMAZING! Tomorrow we board the Anitgua and head north. We caught a glimpse of our soon to be home on our walk back into town. It's the barquentine tall ship right in the middle. We'll be offline for two weeks...so see you end of the month!

Our adventure begins today! We're headed to the airport in a few hours to start our journey to Longyearbyen. Have a look at our flight route and check back in for trip updates. We'll be posting intermittently until we're back in Oslo on Canada Day : ).
Electric QT spent the past week with his class learning and reading up on the Arctic. His classmates gave him a camera and watch for his adventure!
We're very excited to have Cayber join us on our Arctic adventure. He arrived overnight via SF Express all the way from Shanghai! He is Charis' learning buddy--designed and made by her! I used to teach Charis but she now travels the world and her classroom is wherever she goes. She has shared her learning with me from her trips to Tasmania, Spain, Turkey, China, Japan... and we go on learning adventures around Hong Kong when she is back in town. Learn a little more about Cayber from his letter below. We need to go pack now!
