The island groups of Lofoten and Vesteralen in Norway are the
northernmost islands with a average temperature above zero. Their
location near the lofot shelf, touched by the north atlantic stream
and spoiled by polar lights, is well suited for scientific research on
thermohaline circulation, climate change and space weather. In
Andenes, a city on the northern tip of the archipelago, I will visit
the Andøya Space Center to learn about the various anomalies in space
weather and ocean currents that have been observed since the climate
change began.
I am heading to Kiruna on the 5th of October.
