24th Dic 15

Happy X-mas everyone!




********
The gif is a hard and good work of Karolina. The author of the photos is Karolina, again. The idea of making xmas tree on the snow with us is mine. The coordination in this extremly difficult task is a hard work of everyone:)

I have done about 50 dumplings. Karolina made 2 cakes, a vegan lentil pie, Anton cake as well and some orange slovak stuff, Tymek a vegetable salad, Mateusz fishes in vineger, Jarek 2 types of fish and the soup. Konrad made herrings in oil, Jacek bigos and something,  Krysia is making small dumplings with mushrooms, and Robert will do the big turkey. I was fighting together with Karolina and Tymek in the kitchen till 3 a.m. last night, trying to do as much as possible. But when I was sleeping someone prepared the xmas tree. In general a lot of rush in the kitchen and everyone is making something. The base is full of people again:)

I am far away  from the ones that are important for me. I think about you much more often that during xmas. I hope we will spend time together when I will be back:)

15 Dic 15- NEW HERO OF THE BLOG


Can be something more cute then little polar bear??
yes… small polar puppies:)))
26th Nov 2015 the Nature made big, unexpected joke for us. 5 little beings have appeared. We did not know what to do, but they quickly have stolen our hearts. There are 2 white and 3 black puppies. It will be very difficult but I will adopt one. Still, I have not decided the name!?! Any suggestions??The white ones are adopted by me and Karolina (girls). 2 others by Robert and Marta and Darek (boys). One will live here whole her life.

1st Dic 2015


meteo entrance with Brzydal
Winter is comming.
Definitely! Recently, once for 3 days, second time for 4 days we had no internet connection and  our contact with the world were only via satelite (Iridium). The gusts of wind were up to 41 m/s, and this is quite a lot. There were a lot of snow, especially close to the meteo entrance. When I had to go outside (every 3h) to make my measurements I had to take off a bit of snow, sometimes pretty much of snow. This amazing time had its good sites. I had finished 5th season of Game of Thrones:) and as you can see in Konrad's pic we had some extra fridge to cool our beverages :D

13th Nov 2015


Today it is 23rd November and for 10 days I have saved photos on my blog account and they were ready to be published. However, there were many things that had happened and had disturbed me in writing :) Firstly, exactly when I had uploaded the pics the internet was gone for 3 days. Then when I wanted to write there was something more important to do in the Base. Finally, I do not hide this, sometimes, I was too lazy to write:)
But… I promise to write more.. really.. or at least upload the pics. There are many things happening here, that are for me new and amazing and I want to share them with people. I want to show a piece of my life and my beautiful surroundings. 


Our night is darker and darker and therefore sometimes is difficult to make photos but I started to have more field work so more possibilities to make pics:)  We have here up to 30 cm of snow and we have to study it.. Yesterday with Caro we went skiing to measure the snow in 21 different points between the Base and Fugle mountain. Unfortunatelly, we did not take the camera, the moon was amazing. So big.. I have not seen so giant moon in my life!! The pics I publish are from some fieldwork with Krysia.

8th Nov 2015


Last Friday I had the great opportunity to contact via skype and perform video conference with Young Student Academy (Akademia Młodych Odkrywców http://amo.pwr.edu.pl) at my mother University in Wrocław. It was my first and hope not last such type event. It was very nice to can see that young students are interested in our investigation, to hear their interesting questions and answer them. Maybe between them are growing up small scientists. Thank you dr Ania Hajdusianek and dr Paweł Zagozdzon from Wrocław University of Technology.

6th Nov 2015




Almost black & white- it was the walk with Brzydal, the black dog, on the snow. It was really nice but it was really cold as well. The temperature about -10 deg with the wind was for me extremely cold. That means for the next time it is necessary to wear better cloths:) By now for 1 week we do not experience sun rise neither sun down, however for the few hours the sky is changing into beautiful colors. There is no camera to imitate this spectacle. Soon we will not have sunlight at all but since the Sun seems to be very active this year, we expect to observe nice auroras.

26th October 2015



We still have few moments of light and it is good to use this time, when it is possible- not too windy, to go out and do some field work. I did so. I with some good company and went to Wilczekkodden to do some measurements. Very nice walk… I mean work:)    










  what can I do.. I like dogs… :)

24 October 2015




What we experience very often is strong wind, low temperatures, precipitations, low clouds and blizzards. However, sometimes we have possibility to observe wonderful spectacle of polar lights. By now we could see them 2-3 times, even more, but those times the northern lights were just magical. Since here there are much better and more patient photographers then me, I publish some pics by Maciek Błaszkowski.
