Someone had the brilliant idea of finishing the trip with a roped glissade down the Inner Glacier. Though a little tricky, it was a blast. All 3 teams made it down perfectly without crashing. Then we were on dirt again and heading out from Glacier Basin.
All photos are by other members of our teams (Sam, Fred, Jared, Tim and Adam) because I chose not to carry my heavy Nikon on the climb. However, Robert captured the climb on video and made a short film that I will try to post later.

Old steam engines in the ghosttown of Ny-London / Blomstrandhalvøya / Kongsfjord / Spitzbergen / Svalbard

Ny-London ist eine aufgegebene Bergbausiedlung in der Nähe von Ny-Ålesund. Die Marmorvorkommen auf der Insel Blomstrandhalvøya, ließen zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts den Aufbau einer Marmorgrube als gewinnversprechendes Projekt erscheinen. Der englische Abenteurer Ernest Mansfield (1862–1924) hatte 1911 die Mittel zusammengebracht, hier Marmor abzubauen. Dafür wurden Wohnhäuser für etwa 70 Personen errichtet. Der abgebaute Marmor erwies sich allerdings als unbrauchbar aufgrund seiner Brüchigkeit durch die ständigen Frosteinwirkungen. Das Unternehmen scheiterte somit schnell. In der Folge wurden einige Wohnhäuser aus Ny-London nach Ny-Ålesund verbracht, andere zerfielen wo sie waren. Heute bildet Ny-London mit seinen Ruinen und rostenden Maschinen als Geistersiedlung ein Zeugnis von der Goldgräberstimmung auf Svalbard im frühen 20. Jahrhundert.

Ny-London is an abondoned mining settlement near Ny-Ålesund. The marble deposits on the island of Blomstrandhalvøya is bound to the adventurer Ernest Mansfield (1862–1924). The marble quarry was established in 1911. Experts from around the world praised the quality of the stone. Expectations were big and high economic yields were anticipated. Private houses for up to 70 people were built. The marble blocks crumbled due to frost action and turned out to be useless. The establishment was abandoned. Most private houses were moved to Ny-Ålesund, other rotted on the spot. Today, Ny-London is an excellent representative of the Klondike gold rush feeling that prevailed in Svalbard at begin of 20th century.

This woman had rather a bad cough, but no throat lozenges.
If Philip Hammond had been around he may have given her one.

Active Assignment Weekly: It's for the Birds
WIT
Went to the park to find birds. Found this one on a fence that bordered a baseball game in progress. The reason for the orange background is the baseball field.

Trying my hand at a mafia scene and some editing. Tried the best I could at the effects to make it look dark, hope you guys like it!
Just then, the door slid open, and Lt. Harrow stepped into the quarters. He was all too casual, a smirk playing on his lips. “You settling in okay, Julana? I hear the nights can be rough for new arrivals.”
She forced a smile, trying to keep her tone steady. “I’m managing, sir.”
He leaned against the sink, his eyes lingering a moment too long. “If you need any... guidance, I’d be happy to show you to the security wing.”
Great, just what I need.
“No, thank you, sir,” she replied, keeping her voice firm. “I can find my way.”
He chuckled, brushing it off. “Alright then, just remember, I’m around if you need anything.”
As he stepped back, she felt a shiver of relief mixed with unease. The night shift was already off to a questionable start.
Alright. One night at a time. Just get through it. Can’t screw this up. I need this job.
