So, my dream came true. Being in the arctic is one of the most exciting things i've ever done. It was so beautiful and the arctic environment is the best I've ever visite. However, being there in december might not be as hilarious as in september. Me and my colleague, Mats, were on the Zackenberg ecological research station, in north east Greenland, for 3 1/2 week. We took soil samples from the active layer and also drilled for permafrost cores. The samples will now, when back in Gothenburg, be incubated for 1,5 years while gas fluxes is continuously measured. We had some spare time during the month and we did some hiking, both with tent but also some day trips.
