A mini AXA #ArcticLive tour of Ny Alesund and some safety training
Time to unpack at the UK's Arctic Research Station...
1/3 #ArcticLive MiniHelen, Day 3: ⛅🌡-5°C Busy day for MiniHelen & MiniTeam: They've unpacked, sorted kit & set up. First thing MiniEllie insisted on a photo! (L-->R: MiniJamie, MiniNick, MiniChloe, MiniCeri, MiniHelen). MiniHelen also did a selfie (badly!) to show her room. pic.twitter.com/IUlV5NB0O9
Then a quick tour around Ny Alesund and some important polar bear and safety training...
3/3 The MiniTeam also did a #polarbear awareness & gun safety course. Svalbard is prime polar bear territory - no one's allowed off base without safety training. Here's them heading off to the shooting range on snowmobiles, MiniHelen practicing shooting a rifle & flare gun. pic.twitter.com/k2kXQfBBl4
