We saw the Northern Lights last night! They were green swirls coming down over the building and dropping at the horizon. Some of them were playful and made pretty twirling paths before fading out and others looked like green tornadoes just fading in and out. It was beautiful and it was betwen 10:00 and 11:30pm, so there were very quiet squeals of awe as we stared out of the windows.

We went out to do snow measurements again today, which is what we will be doing practically every day. It was a bit warmer (-24 degrees) so my hands and feet and face were feeling ok. We also did PH and conductivity studies of the snow samples we brought back from the field, which was another fun new thing to learn.

I got interviewed over the phone by a Canadian magazine that were interviewing our expedition leader/Lecturer and they liked the idea of a Kuwaiti in the arctic. I am fuzzy on what I actually said.

Tomorrow looks to be only -18, and that suddenly feels like summer weather..
