Tromso

We had a one hour scientist meeting after supper to discuss the two weeks. Several theories were discussed as to why we could find plumes but no vents. The theories dealt with currents, pressure and cold temperatures. At 8 pm the ship was docked and we could disembark to see Tromso. Eric and I walked around the city looking at some sights. It was really the midnight sun here.

We went back to the ship at 12 am and I talked to people until 1 am. It was still so light.
