We reached Oslo in the late afternoon of 21st March. There has been heavy snowfall overnight, the temperature perhaps dipped to -8C over the night. We are staying in Radisson and today we are heading for Longyearbyen. Longyearbyen is located on the island Spitsbergen in Svalbard and used to be the epicentre of Arctic coal mining. The site was established by John Munroe Longyear, the owner of Arctic Coal company. The current temperature in Longyearbyen is -22C and it is going to remain like this for the rest of the day. After we reach Longyearbyen by the late afternoon of day we will take another connecting flight and fly straight to Ny Alesund. Ny Alesund is the place where India's Arctic Research Station 'Himadri' is located. So more from Ny Alesund to follow.
