Jan Mayen volcano (on a tiny island near Svalbard).
Not very active. The flow out of the volcano caldera is actually a glacier!
Big earthquake there this week. Apparently only itinerant scientists and expeditions to the island. Learned today it's a "mini continent" (ie not connected to any major continent, alone unto itself).
Little trip to Svalbard #photography #svalbard #longyearbyen
@BobLefridge@mastodon.nzThere are still good things happening in the world. Today, Svalbard seed vault is receiving more than 14,000 new samples from around the world.
Ich finde es aktuell schwer mich hier einzubringen. Zu viele Gedanken, Zukunftsangst, das Gefühl der Machtlosigkeit und Hoffnungslosigkeit.
Aber vielleicht bringt ein Foto zum #meermittwoch ja vielleicht dem einen oder anderen ein bisschen Freude!

"A University of Bristol study found that 91% of Svalbard’s #glaciers have significantly shrunk since 1985, losing over 800 km².
#Svalbard is one of the fastest-warming places on Earth. The low altitude of the archipelago’s ice fields and geographical location in the high North Atlantic make it especially sensitive to climate change."

Only just discovered this had gone live, but as part of the launch of the Priestley Centre for Climate Futures, Poet Laureate Simon Armitage recorded a short film of 'Summit', a poem arising from his visit to Svalbard last summer. He mentioned my etchings of Svalbard to the production team, and the etchings and sketches for them now form the backdrop to parts of the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9j3QL4m7Qds
(I wonder if this counts as an 'output' on my research grant?)
It was a summer of unrelenting #humidity & #heat too #extreme for the human body….In June, ≥1,300 pilgrims visiting the Muslim holy city of #Mecca died amid temperatures of 50°C (122°F).…125 people were reported dead in #Mexico during a July streak of exceedingly hot nights that researchers say was made 200X as likely because of #ClimateChange. In the #Arctic archipelago of #Svalbard, one of the world’s northernmost inhabited areas, Aug #temperatures soared >2.5°C (4.5°F) above the record.
Aaaand she's back! Just landed back in #Svalbard after 4 days on an #Arctic adventure with no phone signal or internet. Three rolls of #fujifilm200 to develop, and hundreds of digital photos to sort through 
Today is #InternationalRockDay. A impawtent day in my place. Fig1 #granite boulders on the #Seychelles. Fig2 young #basalt #lava on #Iceland, Fig3 #rocks in circles on #Svalbard & Fig4 the making of rocks by a #volcano. Pictures taken during #hedgewatch

Methane Trapped In Permafrost Could Escape Its Icy Prison, Posing Climate Threat
Interestingly, the gas accumulations were more common than previously thought. Of 18 hydrocarbon exploration wells drilled in Svalbard, eight showed signs of permafrost, and half of these struck gas accumulation

Considering a few days in #Svalbard next August. The Arctic has been calling to me for the last 25 years. (Shamed that I really have to fly there, which is rather shit.) When I’ve crossed the Arctic Circle I can lay my polar dreams to rest. Any recommendations for tours, guides, anything else near #Longyearbyen?
@trendskater@metalhead.clubWundert mich, dass hier kaum jemand bisher das neue Svalbard-Album erwähnt hat - melancholischer Post-Hardcore oberster Kajüte, falls man mich fragen sollte
