….well, ok, not completely as a tourist - I did manage to spend a day getting out to Van Mijenfjorden where I have collected snow, ice and water samples with the B.I.G. Expedition in 2022 and 2023 to collect yet more samples for a third year in a row.
Conditions on Svalbard were especially slushy this year so huge thanks to Yann for getting me out to the fjord just in time!
