Midnight Sun: A Greenland Dog waits in the shade during another endless summer day in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Arctic. During summer months the sun never sets and residents endure 24-hour light, customary in the polar regions. The midnight sun rises in April on the first morning of the polar day, signalling the transition of seasons from long polar night to long polar summer. By the end of April there is no twilight at all, and in May and June the sun is always above the horizon as it rises progressively higher in the sky. The maximum amount of sunlight is around the day of the summer solstice in late-June. During the high summer period, the sun appears to spiral up and up and then like a concertina it unravels, expanding in circumference in its loops around the sky. The sun eventually sets in November and does not rise again until mid-February. During this time, the cold and 24 darkness limits human activity but is also a period when the Northern Lights can be seen in the skies above. Temperatures in Longyearbyen summers can be around -2 degrees and drop to -30 degrees in winter.

Longyearbyen, Svalbard, High Arctic. The Svalbard reindeer, endemic to the land, is a key species to the ecosystem of the tundra. They have few predators and when they die, their carcasses are an important part of the diet of the Arctic fox that also inhabits the region. Reindeer also compete for food with many bird species and the species population has implications for many other species native to Svalbard, as well as the diversity of land and vegetation. @fraser_ross_morton took this photo while filming a documentary assignment with @eco-business and the Norwegian Polar Institute in summer 2019. ...

Kongsfjorden Glacier in west Svalbard is melting at an unprecedented rate due to increased warming in the Arctic. “We are facing Atlantification of the polar waters. What we have seen in this fjord is that first of all the disappearance of the sea ice, which we used to have in the winter and spring in this area. Now it's warm sea water temperature. The ecosystem is changing. I analyse the sea bird diet, and it used to be polar cod, which was the main diet for the sea birds, but now we see that Atlantic species are the main food diet for the sea birds in this fjord. It has changed from a polar system to an Atlantic system due to the changes in this area,” said Geir Wing Gabrielsen, head of the toxicology section at the Norwegian Polar Institute. @fraser_ross_morton took this photo while filming a documentary assignment with @eco-business and the Norwegian Polar Institute in summer 2019. ...

Portraits Of A Mining Past: An old coal miner’s hut on the edge of Ny-Alesund, the world's northernmost science community, approximately 769 miles from the North Pole. Commercial mining commenced in 1916 when Peter S. Brandal - a Polar Sea captain - needed coal as fuel for steamships during the First World War. Operating conditions were difficult however and after several fatal accidents, mines were permanently closed in 1963. It was not until the 1990s, however, that research activities took off in Ny-Ålesund and it has been a science base ever since. @fraser_ross_morton took this photo while filming a documentary assignment with @eco-business and the Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI) in summer 2019.

The Kjell Henriksen Observatory an optical observatory located about nine miles outside of the town of Longyearbyen, Svalbard in the High Arctic. Scientists here use a range of optical equipment for auroral science, and to monitor changes in the atmosphere. The location was chosen for its isolation from electrical pollution and its position in relation to the Earth’s magnetic field.

Out of the Arctic on an unexpected musical high after seeing Robert Plant and the Sensational Spaceshifters rocking a set to a crowd of about 100 people in the Arctic jump off town of Longyearbyen. He performed a couple Led Zeppelin numbers, and his new band banged out experimental blues to a wide-eyed crowd who couldn’t believe their luck he would tour this far North. Leaving the Arctic, and now Oslo for home Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 . . . . . . . . . #ledzeppelin #robertplant #arctic #longyearbyen
