A test post! | Korpijaakko

This is a test post to try the possibility to update my blog from the ice while on skiing expedition in Svalbard.

We are leaving in the morning April 7th from Helsinki. From there we fly to Oslo and continue to Longyearbyen in Svalbard. We will spent the day in Longyearbyen getting paper work done, buying the last supplies and eating a last proper meal for a while. Next day we’ll take a bandvagn ride to our starting point and then start our three-week long skiing expedition. We have a satellite phone and a laptop with us, so we are able to keep contact to the outside world and we will send daily disbatches (in Finnish). In addition I’ll try to send few updates to my blog (in English, of course) if everything works as planned.

Before leaving I’ll write something about the food I’m taking with me and I’ll leave a sticky post on top of this page with information about what’s going on and some usefull links.

Things are getting pretty exiting…
