As long as we are able to access the internet, your posts will be like the great books we take down from the bookshelf and reread.

What an experience you’ve had! Three days without night! I can’t even imagine what that would do to my equilibrium. That’s fascinating about the seed banks. I just read THE OVERSTORY; seed banks are imperative , since humans have so disrupted nature’s natural progression.

Enchanting in a very desolate yet beautiful way. Triggers strange longings for a healthy planet where seeds grow ... peace flows. Thank you for taking us on your journey...

Welcome to Oslo and Norway, well you are actually in Norway when you are at Svalbard- the seedbank is in the Norwegian part of it- and it is something that we are very proud of. See you soon at Sentrum scene- which of course is sold out- both nights!
