“Cryogenic stasis had delivered her to an unfamiliar universe. When she looked up at the sky, the stars were in the wrong places, and the constellations were strangers. She was told each one was a new world, with its own people and civilizations. She hoped they were ready for her.”

The new Quiet Pine Trees book is almost 50% funded! When we reach that milestone, I’ll release the lyrics for “The Time Traveler’s Lullaby,” so if you’ve been thinking of pledging, now is the time! I’d also like to thank the 250 intelligent and attractive people who have already pledged!

HIKING THE ADVENTDALEN

By Ragnhild Utne

It was October and we were craving a hike. The Norwegian settlement of Longyearbyen, Svalbard is mostly covered in shadows this time of year, but Adventdalen — the long broad valley east of town — was soaking up the last rays of sun, just a few short weeks before the long polar night descended and we wouldn’t see the sun again until mid February.

By law, anyone leaving town has to carry a rifle to chase off polar bears, but we were ready to see some of Svalbard’s fascinating landscapes: broad barren valleys surrounded by rolling rugged mountains. 

The temperature was below freezing, which luckily made it possible to cross the many small rivers. We got a little cocky on our return though, and filled our hiking boots with water as the thin ice cracked beneath our feet.
