Longyearbyen & Svalbard 15-18.6.2012

[Olli Vainio]

Hello all. I recently had a trip to north. I mean, really north(as in closer to north pole than arctic circle). Here's few photos... :)

 

First ride of the day, Blue1 717 from Oulu to Helsinki.

 

In meanwhile, we had a Blue 717 ride to Stockholm and then a SAS B738 to Oslo.

 

Here's our ride from Stockholm at Oslo, already departing back to Stockholm.

Interesting aircraft at the apron. It's midnight btw.

 

Few photos from Longyearbyen and it's surroundings.
