On my internet travels I recently stumbled across a webcam from Svalbard right up in the far Arctic north, between mainland Norway and the North Pole (it is Norwegian territory). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard for more information.

I was immediately struck by the stark beauty of the place and by the perpetual daylight. Not sure how I’d cope though with perpetual night time! I contacted the owner of the webcam, Svein Nordahl, and asked if it would be OK to link directly to his webcam images. He very kindly assured me this would be no problem.

So here we are, two images live from Svein’s house looking north towards the North Pole. I’ve linked the images directly, so each time you open this blog post, they should update (Svalbard is GMT+1).

You can get the full size images here, which really show the landscape at its best! Svein’s main homepage can be found at: http://www.svein-nordahl.com/ - take a look. Thanks for sharing your webcam Svein!
