Greetings from Tromsø | Norway 2013
https://ahillnorway.wordpress.com/2013/05/23/greetings-from-tromso
A travel blog by Andrea Hill. Sun and seals in the Arctic →. May 23, 2013. I’ve arrived in one of the world’s largest Arctic cities. Last night, Alex and I flew into Tromsø, which lies about 450 kilometres due west of Kirkenes. The city likes to boast that it is home to the world’s northernmost university, beer brewery, cathedral and botanical garden. So far I’ve explored or at least stolen a glimpse of all these claims to fame. Views from the beautiful coastal city of Tromsø. Looking out over Tromsø.

A travel blog by Andrea Hill. Crabs and political superstars. Finding Canadian connections in Oslo →. At the Barents Summit. June 4, 2013. My last day at the BarentsObserver certainly didn’t disappoint. I was very excited to provide one of the BarentsObserver’s first news hits. About the Summit early in the day. This was further developed over the course of the afternoon as I also worked on a piece about challenges faced by indigenous people. This entry was posted in Kirkenes, Norway. The road to Kiruna.

A travel blog by Andrea Hill. At the Barents Summit →. Crabs and political superstars. June 3, 2013. The small town of Kirkenes is overflowing with people.

And already, festivities have begun. Playing with my food. Photo by Thomas Nilsen. Which seems to be largely positive. From the newsroom, we made our way to the circus tent erected in ...

A travel blog by Andrea Hill. Air pollution in the Barents region. Fit for a king (crab) →. Off the beaten path. May 10, 2013. Looking out over the town of Kirkenes. Hiking in Kirkenes where well-defined trails are overrated. Alex and I were supposed to be in Tromso today meeting with various researchers for stories we’re working on, but our plans were cancelled after Wideroe, the regional airline that flies between small towns in Norway, went on strike. We’re hoping to reschedule the tri...With our trip...

A travel blog by Andrea Hill. The sad state of Russian journalism. Bringing quidditch to the Arctic →. A whirlwind few days in Murmansk. May 30, 2013. Just as I was starting to find my way around Murmansk, I find myself back in Kirkenes. Artist Nadya Glinskaya shows us her workshop in Murmansk’s Mr. Pink youth house. And then, all too suddenly, it was time to leave. Alex and I took a cab to the border town of Nikel where we met up with the BarentsObserver crew to see the belching smelters that define the...
