Summer is coming

Yes, I know it's only February 9th. But, just go over and have a look at these webcam images from Svalbard. This is a group of islands on the 80th parallel, not far from the North Pole. Around Christmas, these do not see the daylight. Now, there is daylight between about 9 am and 3pm, and I think the sun is already above the horizon there at midday.
More info on this magnificent archipelago here.

    That was cool to look at this.  Thank you Guido.  Also, thanks for emailing me the J-Land Chat Info.  I'll be there!

    Looks cold enough, where I'll enjoy it virtually, through this really cool site:)   And, right, summer may be coming, but I do believe that only Robin's are supposed to signal when Spring comes ;)
