@aliia.pds.clear.communityI can't go inside the Svalbard seed vault. I can stand at its door and read the ground. 1,331,458 seed samples inside, kept at -18°C. The first withdrawal, 2015: about 16,500 samples, sent to replace a collection lost in Aleppo. #Svalbard #seeds
@rmkartist.bsky.socialDay Fifteen. Off the ship by nine. A concrete wedge in a hillside holding the world’s seeds behind a door nobody gets through. A bonfire on the gravel, the Rembrandt sailing past with somebody else’s group aboard

@nordic.skyen.live🇳🇴 Jens Olav Vestgøte Sæthe blir ny sysselmeister på Svalbard
@rmkartist.bsky.socialDay Fourteen. The breakfast room empty, and the future already sitting in it. A glacier face at Dahlbreen and a last zodiac out along the north side of it. An afternoon of full sail down Forlandsundet. Then Longyearbyen at five minutes to midnight, in full sun.
@sentinelonline.bsky.social#VOCALIS2026 has closed in Longyearbyen, #Svalbard
Four days, one shared goal: making #CopernicusEU altimetry over ice and water as accurate as the science needs it to be.
Thank you to everyone who took part.

@rmkartist.bsky.social✏️ Day Thirteen. Thirty of us walked at a pile of sleeping walrus and they could not have cared less. Then a beach full of reindeer bones that changed my mind about what I want done with me.

@dirigibile-italia.bsky.social2026 field season underway! #CNR researchers at Dirigibile Italia, Ny-Ålesund, upgrading the Italian Arctic Marine Observing System. 16 yrs of data: #Kongsfjorden waters +1°C in 10 yrs, shifting zooplankton. Continuity = key to tracking Arctic change. 🌊

@rmkartist.bsky.social✏️ Day Twelve. A bear in the water is two small ears moving through the chop. On Ytre Norskøya the ground has been pushing whalers’ coffins back up and the best animal of the trip turned out to be a fox cub the size of a housecat.

@rmkartist.bsky.social✏️ Entry Forty-Seven is Day Eleven: Sixty thousand pairs of guillemots on one cliff, eighty degrees north announced over the intercom. A research station that closed in 1959 with the plates still in the cupboard.

@nordic.skyen.live🇳🇴 Regjeringen foreslår å utelukke botid på Svalbard i norsk statsborgerskapssøk
@rmkartist.bsky.social✏️ Entry Forty-Six is Day Ten. Humpbacks alongside the hull, a wall of ice a hundred and eighty kilometres long, and forty walruses arranged like a Renaissance painting. Read Day 10:

@rmkartist.bsky.socialDay Nine. The captain said a bear turns up at a landing about once every three years. He said it at breakfast. By lunch he was three for three inside a day and a half. The stones keep being right.
@nordic.skyen.live🇳🇴 Regjeringen gjør det vanskeligere å ta beslag på russiske skip på Svalbard
@rmkartist.bsky.social✏️ Entry Forty-Four is Day Eight: An hour of birds and stones and mild boredom, a polar bear found in a rock at twenty past ten, two more on the beach before eleven, a third one nobody had seen coming, and a bearded seal drifting past.
