Retired geologist (BSc, PhD) and former Senior Lecturer and Director of Open Studies, Edinburgh University. Published a number of geological research papers, but Classical music has been a life-long love. I played piano and church organ as a youth, bought my first "hifi" at the age of 15 and have been upgrading ever since. I taught music courses in the Edinburgh Adult Education programme for many years, especially social history of music, illustrated studies of composers including Bach, Beethoven, Elgar, Sibelius, Richard Strauss and Mahler. Several courses attempted to introduce people to post-Impressionism musical developments, and I also ran courses on Scottish classical music history. I was particularly interested in the period instrument movement and did extensive research on this. Gave pre-concert talks for the then Scottish National Orchestra in Glasgow and Edinburgh and Festival Lectures on featured composers at the Edinburgh Festival for over 10 years. Despite the classical bias, I have wide tastes in music. Also, I enjoy painting in watercolour, pastel, acrylic and oils. | |

Having had to take early retirement, I sold my 2800+ CD teaching collection in 2005 to take up high-definition multichannel and begin an SACD and DVD-A collection (much smaller!). Have upgraded several components since then, and present system is approaching personal nirvana... or so I think at the moment. Oppo BDP 103 with DSD over HDMI (suprisingly superior in SACD to a former Denon DBP-4010 UD Universal Player), Denon AVR-X4000 multichannel receiver. Magnaplanar MG 1.7 front speakers, Magnaplanar CC3 centre, Magnaplanar wall-mounted LM1 surround speakers, Quad Lite subwoofer. I consistently use the Ultima Signature Mat when playing discs, it helps the transport recover more information and makes an astonishing improvement in definition, ambient information, instrument location and sheer musicality.

Observations on burrowing rates and comments on host specificity in the endangered mussel Lampsilis higginsi
Journal of Freshwater Ecology

- The Publications Warehouse does not have links to digital versions of this publication at this time
In preliminary laboratory studies, the endangered mussel Lampsilis higginsi was unable to burrow into rocky substrates, but did burrow into substrates comprised of silt, clay, sand, and/or pebble-gravel. Burrowing times were shortest in silt and longest in pebble-gravel. As judged by longevity of glochidial infection, walleye (Stizostedion vitreum) and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) may be suitable hosts for the parasitic stage. When glochidia were placed in water without host fish, half had died after 48 hours, and all had died after 72 hours. (DBO).Additional Publication Details

LoMA: Worlds Simplest Lost Model Alarm
After seeing eBird's All Is Lost thread, I started to think about lost model alarms again. There are a couple of projects on the rc-cam.com site that include lost model alarms as optional features. But, the LMA functions are buried in the project details and are easily overlooked.
So I thought it would be best to dedicate a project just to this function. The emphasis was to keep it simple. The result is LoMA, the world's simplest Lost Model Alarm. It has three components. Of course one is a PIC microcontroller. I hate to nag, but owning a cheap PIC programmer is really not a bad idea. LoMA also includes an R/C signal glitch counter. That alone may be worth the hour's time it takes to build it. All the Lost Model Alarm details are found here: http://www.rc-cam.com/lma.htm BTW, all the rc-cam projects are summarized here: http://www.rc-cam.com/projects.htm RC-CAM |

While I don't want to hijack Mr RC-CAM's thread there is a 12F675 based LMA design here: http://www.designsoft.com.au/ahome/rc/PIC-LMA/LMA.html This is not 'prepackaged' you need to configure and assemble the code yourself. Tim |

ok 90 dB is not really loud I agree.. it's about as loud as a lawnmower
I thikn something in the 110-120 db range would be sufficient, however you would need earmuphs as you get close to the plane. -allenkll |

Did you try driving the buzzer differentially instead of single ended? If the PIC will stand up to it you could effectively double the voltage being delivered to the peizo element and increase its output level. From your schematic you appeared to have one free pin. Instead of driving one end of the speaker with 3 pins in parallel you could perhaps use 2 pair of pins on each lead and run them 180 deg. out of phase. Also a lot of inexpensive peizzo speakers have a hot spot in their freq vs. output level characteristics so if you were to drive it a few hundred hertz off from the peak it might not be as loud as it could be. Third thought would be if you can drive the speaker differentially then you could play with duty cycles and search for a combination that produces harmonics that may deliver more usable output of the speaker. Remember the circuit model of a peizo (speaker) includes both capacitive and inductive elements so if you can find the resonances in the circuit you may get some "free" amplitude peaks if you get the right harmonic. Bad news is it might vary from speaker to speaker so you would really need to try it out and do a pick the best average type thingy. Just some off the cuff thoughts. |

The spare pin is really not spare. It is an easter egg of sorts. It is a "TTL" level output that can be used to drive a buffer transistor for those apps that need more alarm buzzer current or want to flash Hi-Lumen LED's. Don't tell anyone it is there. You are correct about the resonance of raw piezo transducers. If you don't drive them at the correct frequency they lose a lot of efficiency. Some become mutes.

If your plane comes down in a field without any kind of LMA, it is possible that it ends up covered with leaves, stuck in a tree or otherwise not visible. You can criss-cross the field 'til the cows come home and never find it, even though you may have passed within a few feet of it on several occasions. With your LMA, if you manage to get within 20' or so of your plane, you will likely hear it. However, there are other situations where you would need something much louder. If you don't know exactly where your plane came down (it's hard to judge distance sometimes), it's possible that the plane isn't even in the area you are searching. In very dense forest or swamp (such as Steve is faced with), it would be very useful to know beforehand the exact location of your plane, to save you having to hack your way through the whole area. I think as long as people recognize its limitations and what situations it will be useful in, this is a good project. As you say, it's very simple and can be put together quickly by anyone with a soldering iron and a PIC programmer. I for one would not have thought of soldering the PIC directly to the buzzer. Brilliant -- saves space and the weight of a PCB board. So I will quit criticizing and get to work building a louder LMA. Thanks for your suggestions about the jogger alarm and Combat module. If the buzzer I'm looking at doesn't work out, I'll look into those. -- Kevin |

I have another suugestion to make on a LMA as long as people are designing them. How about one that combines a buzzer with a high output LED. If you can't hear the buzzer at the edge of the field, you might be able to see a blinking LED if its dark out and there's no other bright lights around. People's eyes get very sensitive to light once you've been outside for a while.
Sep 25, 2004, 12:44 PM | |
LED's could help, but would require the battery supply to last until nightfall. And I agree, louder will mean bigger. So, for an LMA to be attractive it will need to be a balance of performance vs. weight/size/cost. But like all safety devices, perfection may be difficult to achieve, especially at low cost.
I wonder what the outcome of eBird's situation would have been if he had an audio based LMA on his model? Even with its limitations, perhaps it would have helped locate the model. Or maybe not. We will never know. RC-CAM |

SportLast-gasp Arsenal move third Gunners score three in the last five minutes to beat Norwich as Everton consign QPR to defeat in English Premier League. 13 Apr 2013 17:11 GMT | Sport, Football Norwich looked to have set up a shock victory at the Emirates before Mikel Arteta, above, levelled from the penalty spot, closely followed by goals by Oliver Giroud and Lukas Podolski [Reuters]Arsenal scored three times in the last five minutes to beat Norwich City 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium and leap to third place in the English Premier League table on Saturday. Michael Turner's header looked to have consigned Arsene Wenger's men to defeat, but Mikel Arteta equalised with an 85th-minute penalty before a Sebastien Bassong own goal and an injury-time strike from Lukas Podolski completed the comeback. Victory takes Arsenal above Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, neither of whom play in the league this weekend, and with eight wins in nine games, their push for Champions League qualification is firmly on track. High drama The hosts had the best of the first half but the closest they came to scoring was an Olivier Giroud header in the 23rd minute that came back off the crossbar. Turner put Norwich ahead in the 56th minute, ghosting in to meet Robert Snodgrass' inswinging free-kick with a close-range header. Arsenal, who recalled Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott after injury, saw Norwich goalkeeper Mark Bunn turn a Podolski shot onto the crossbar as they pushed for an equaliser. It looked destined to be a frustrating afternoon for the home side, but Kei Kamara's tug on Giroud allowed Arteta to equalise from the spot before Bassong turned the ball into his own goal from Podolski's cut-back. Podolski sealed victory in added time, beating Bunn with a low shot from Walcott's lay-off. "I thought we wouldn't give in and would fight until the end," said Arsenal manager Wenger. "No-one could predict we would score three goals, but we have great attitude, spirit and desire - and it got us there. We deserved to win but we were against a strong side and needed something special." Results & fixtures Saturday 13 AprilArsenal 3-1 Norwich Aston Villa 1-1 Fulham Everton 2-0 QPR Reading 0-0 Liverpool Southampton 1-1 West HamSunday 14 AprilNewcastle v Sunderland Stoke City v ManUnited Norwich, 1-0 victors over Arsenal at Carrow Road in October, have now won just once in 16 matches and remain only four points above the relegation places. News of Arsenal's late rally was a blow for Everton, who closed to within three points of the top four after winning 2-0 at home to second-bottom Queens Park Rangers. Darron Gibson broke the deadlock in the 40th minute at Goodison Park with a deflected shot from 25 yards, with Victor Anichebe flicking in a Sylvain Distin knock-down 11 minutes into the second period. "We played well at times. The pitch is very poor at the minute and that is not helping us, but we got the goals that mattered," said Everton manager David Moyes, whose side visit Arsenal on Tuesday. "I think if we beat Arsenal in mid-week we can talk about the Champions League, but if we lose, we are talking about a Europa League place." QPR remain seven points from safety but they have played two games more than third-bottom Wigan Athletic, who faced Millwall in the FA Cup semi-finals on Saturday, and a game more than fourth-bottom Sunderland. Reading draw Reading are still bottom of the table but they drew level on points with QPR after withstanding a Liverpool onslaught in a 0-0 draw at the Madejski Stadium. Chris Gunter headed an early Luiz Suarez effort off the Reading goal-line, while Philippe Coutinho saw a goal ruled out for offside and curled a shot against the post. Aston Villa spurned an opportunity to haul themselves out of the relegation picture in a 1-1 draw at home to Fulham. Charles N'Zogbia put Villa ahead 10 minutes into the second half with a high finish from an Andreas Weimann cutback, only for Fabian Delph to inadvertently head Bryan Ruiz's corner into his own goal 11 minutes later. "The point keeps the momentum there," said Villa manager Paul Lambert, whose side are three points above the bottom three. "I played under a great manager once and he said if you can't win a game, then don't lose it. I think you can sense in the stadium the fans are behind us." Meanwhile, Andy Carroll marked his return to the West Ham United starting XI with a second-half equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Southampton. Gaston Ramirez gave Southampton the lead shortly before the hour when he calmly beat Jussi Jaaskelainen, but Carroll levelled the scores seven minutes later with a deflected free-kick.Source: AFP

Wave Systems Launches Cloud-Based Encryption Management Platform
Wave Systems Launches Cloud-Based Encryption Management Platform
Fahmida Y. Rashid
Posted 2012-02-01
Wave Encryption Service from Wave Systems is a cloud service designed to make it easier to implement encryption on endpoints and manage policies across the organization.
Wave Systems has launched a cloud-based encryption management service to help organizations enforce encryption policies on all laptops across the enterprise. The Wave Encryption Service (WES) supports multiple encryption technologies, including file- and folder-level software encryption and Microsoft Bitlocker, Wave Systems said Jan. 30. Organizations use the unified Web-based console to configure various policies and manage them from a central location.
The frequency, severity and cost of data breaches are getting worse every day, Brian Berger, executive vice president of marketing and sales at Wave Systems, wrote in the company's Security Matters blog. As mobile devices become more ubiquitous, there are more potential exposure points beyond the traditional IT network perimeters for sensitive data to be leaked. Organizations are now subject to more regulations about disclosing incidents and run a higher risk of being slapped with a fine for noncompliance.
"Many companies are praying they won't get breached or, if they do, that they won't have to disclose it," Berger wrote. Others believe the costs of deploying security measures are higher than whatever costs may be incurred by a data breach, Berger said. However, recent reports have shown that breaches are costly, and even a relatively small one can "devastate" smaller businesses, Berger said. Small businesses are required to follow the same data protection rules that govern large enterprises, despite lacking IT infrastructure, staff and money to fulfill those requirements, according to Berger. The new cloud service would help small businesses because the large enterprise deployment data protection technology would make them compliant as well as more secure.
The Web interface simplifies deployment, and administrators can set up alerts for various events and manage what policies are applied to each endpoint. Through the interface, administrators can also generate regular reports to keep track of encryption status for a subset of computers. The client agent can also automatically enroll target devices it detects on the network and apply policies. With WES, businesses can now automatically implement and enforce encryption policies on any corporate-issued computer running Microsoft's Windows operating system from "virtually any location," Berger said. Even if the computer is lost or stolen, administrators can use the Web-based interface to ensure the encryption policies are in place. WES helps "level the data security playing field for SMBs by offering a level of protection previously available only to large enterprises," according to Berger. While Bitlocker is included automatically with the Windows 7 operating system, many organizations are still using folder- or file-based encryption as well as products from other vendors. WES gives organizations the flexibility to work with multiple technologies at once. If the IT team decides to add on self-encrypting drives into the environment at a later date, WES will be able to accommodate the change easily, according to Wave. WES supports the Opal self-encrypting drives from leading storage vendors. The cloud service is available to administrations with preconfigured compliance security policies that can be applied automatically. Businesses can sign up with WES on a subscription basis and scale up and down as necessary.

In 1984, director Ivan Reitman brought a movie to the big screen about three unemployed parapsychology professors creating a new business removing bothersome ghosts. Ghostbusters went on to become one of the most oft-quoted comedies of all time and it was even nominated for two Academy Awards (Best Visual Effects and Best Original Song).
Starting tonight, Sony Pictures Repertory is bringing the comedy classic back to theaters every Thursday in October!
500 theaters across the United States will be playing the movie for one showtime each night on October 13th (tonight), 20th, and 27th, in 2K Digital Cinema Projection and 5.1 surround sound.
To find out where it will be playing, head on over to the Showtimes page for the movie.
In the press release, Rory Bruer, president, Worldwide Distribution for Sony Pictures, said:
"We're delighted to be bringing Ghostbusters back to the big screen – this is a special celebration of the movie, giving the fans a chance to see it on the big screen in perfect digital presentation. As we head towards Halloween, we ain't afraid of no ghosts, but just the same, we're glad that everyone's favorite paranormal eliminators are on the case."
If you can't make it to one of the theaters to see it, you can still have fun at home by grabbing the movie on Blu-ray, DVD, or even Amazon Video on Demand. If you'd rather load it up on your iPhone or iPad, head over to the iTunes Store where you can purchase the download.

Proactive for Polar Bears
We hope that there is never a cause to use the tool that we and our partners helped create. An oil spill in the remote Arctic would be devastating to the ecosystem and its wildlife. With increased shipping and interest in drilling in the region, however, we want to make sure responders have what they need to help wildlife if the worst should happen. So we teamed up with local partners in Alaska to develop an important new tool that could make the difference between life and death for polar bears in the case of an oil spill.

Hi Guys! Does anyone know if BLT rooms are ever discounted? Can I assume that they are lumped with CR?
My research has shown that BLT has been included in past room discounts. I can tell you that it was not part of the most recent discounts that were released earlier this month. I do not know when was the last time it was offered at BLT.
The Spring Promotional rates include a 5% discount at BLT. Not much, but better than nothing! It's not advertised on the list of resorts, but they told me when I called and changed my reservation to reflect the discount.
What type of room do you have booked at BLT if you dont mind me asking? I have a 1bedroom MK view booked there for April 20 - 27. When I called last the CM told me about that 5% discount at BLT but said it wasn't available for the type of room I have booked

Great work Ubuntu-freak! Thanks for the time and effort in posting all of this... worked first time for me on Ubuntu Studio 9.04!
Dear ubuntu-freak,
Superb and beautifully explained.My sound prob. is solved.
Thank you so much.
Ubuntufreak, Hey thanks for the information.
It's so nice to see things just work so well. Just seeing lines move in the terminal brings a tear to the eye.
Thank you for this "how to" guide. It was very helpful. I wish I had read it all the way through though because you had an easy fix to a problem but I worked it out on my own anyway.
Youtube was not working and I couldn't get flash to install on my 64-bit system. Now I saw you had a bunch of command line options that did it but I compiled a tarball and it is working fine now. If you are using firefox after installing a flash plugin for a 64-bit ubuntu, you might want to close firefox and retstart it again because otherwise it acts strange.
Nathan I followed your DVD playback to a "T" and nothing seems to work. Mind you the VLC program starts up when DVD is inserted but no show (literally). I can't even access the "Deinterlace" in the VLC program, I can see it but I can't access it. What does happen at the beginning is that a blank screen flashes as if the video is about to start and then it just disappears. I am running an ATX small form factor Intel P4 system with 1gig DDR, with the notorious 845gl onboard video chip.
I have a laptop that is experiencing the same thing with the VLC and the same results. So I don't believe it's a hardware issue. Oh, and I am running the new Jaunty Jackalope.
What thinkest thou?
Last edited by ruggles; May 17th, 2009 at 07:17 PM. Reason: adding more information
ruggles, have you tried playing the DVD with totem instead?
I did everything this told me to, and when I restarted my screen went bonkers and said it had to boot in low-graphics. Then, I reset the configuration to default and restarted. Everything works fine now (so it didn't undo the work this howto did), but my pointer is working strangely. Instead of speeding up when I do long, fast strokes, it slows down! It also goes faster when I do small, slow strokes. How do I get it working normally and not backwards?
Sometimes I just sit here and cry as to why these things just don't work. I have tried many many times in trying to use Totem. I have read people's posts on this forum say that they wouldn't use anything else, but I can't get it to work with this system. Mind you, someone did offer a configuration in which I was able to use VLC properly when I first started playing around with ubuntu 6 months ago, but ubuntu offered an upgrade which caused me to do a format because everything went haywire, but I can't remember the website that had that unique blend of configs that made the whole thing come together. I would love for Totem to work, but alas I find myself drowning in my own cup of Roobios.
My laptop is a compaq r3000 with 1gig memory.

My name is Jonathan and I like magic.
I became a partner at Foundation in Sept of 2013 after a short stint here as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence.
After spending 17 years as an operator, founder of three companies, builder of a +$100m-revenue business, and running marketing for Facebook, here's what I've learned about magic:
For startup founders, magic isn't magic. Startups aren't romantic. They're brutally hard, drawn out, bare-knuckle brawls. They're often incredibly lonely wars of attrition with yourself.
And while being smart is a pre-requisite, it's not enough to guarantee success. And it certainly doesn't matter what school you went to, or who you know, or who your friends are.
In fact, the only thing that determines whether your startup succeeds or fails is you. Your tenacity. Your focus. Your dogged determination to carry on through the rejection, muck and crap and dark times.
But here's something else I know. When you build something people love, find the product/market fit, and those numbers start to go up to the right, it kinda feels magic. In part because the thing you've just spent every waking moment on is actually alive in the world, breathing on it's own for the first time. And also because all those people who believed in you – both inside and outside the company – finally see what you see.
That's the magic I'm talking about. And it's that magic that I love. And now I get to play a different part in helping founders find their magic. And it's why I love what I do.
Jonathan invests in early early-stage consumer, mar-tech, SaaS, mobile, and commerce startups and technologies. He joined Foundation Capital in 2013 as a partner after spending nine months with the firm as an entrepreneur-in-residence. When not working, he can be found on his bike or chasing his four kids around.

This was a nice and reasonable Japanese style hotel. Our room was a private room with toilet & bath/shower. However, as they had a wonderful Ofuro (public style bath), I enjoyed using that to soak instead. A European style breakfast was served in the little dining area. Parking was difficult to find and a bit far away. It was fun... More

Baltimore Harbor is an important part of the U.S. maritime transportation system which is in total the most efficient in the world. Maintaining the navigable waterways in the United States, specifically the Baltimore Harbor shipping channel, to their authorized dimensions is critical to the regional and national economy.

The Company is also one of the largest U.S. providers of commercial and industrial demolition services primarily in the Northeast. The Company owns a 50% interest in a marine sand mining operation in New Jersey that supplies sand and aggregate for road and building construction and a 50% interest in an environmental service operation with the ability to remediate soil and dredged sediment treatment. Great Lakes employs over 150 degreed engineers, most specializing in civil and mechanical engineering, which contributes to its 122-year history of never failing to complete a marine project. Great Lakes has a disciplined training program for engineers that ensures experienced-based performance as they advance through Company operations. Great Lakes also owns and operates the largest and most diverse fleet in the U.S. industry, comprised of over 200 specialized vessels.

An elderly resident coos and calls after the big white dog lumbering past her room at Lansdowne Hospital and Rest Home.
It happens to be Minnie McCarthy's first day at the Botany facility and seeing Sophie has made the process warm and comforting.
Avril Bevins says responses like that are the reason she volunteers with Outreach Pet Therapy.
Mrs Bevins and her pyrenean mountain dog Sophie have been visiting rest homes, hospitals and special needs events for five years as part of the programme.
Their partnership has brought many smiles to people on their darkest days.
"Sophie has big soft eyes, a lot of hair and the temperament for it - these dogs are known worldwide as gentle giants.
"If people like dogs they love Sophie."
Outreach Therapy Pets programme is jointly run by charitable organisations St John and the SPCA.
The aim is to bring comfort, love and companionship to those who spend time in hospitals and nursing homes through regular visits from animals.
Mrs Bevins was flicking through the paper more than eight years ago when she saw an advert for pet therapy and thought "why not do that".
Her daughter breeds the striking white dogs and agreed their docile manner would suit the job.
Mrs Bevins says she hasn't looked back since - Sophie is the third dog she has put through the programme.
She describes her as "a bit in your face" and the endearing canine certainly enjoys being the centre of attention.
"I just get dragged around as Sophie goes looking for people to cuddle her and tell her she is beautiful."
Lansdowne event co-ordinator Hariata Sadler says the best thing Sophie does is make the residents smile.
"They reach out and touch her fur, they look into her eyes and talk to her about everything and anything."
She says it also brings an activity and social interaction into the rooms of bedridden residents.
"It is really special for the residents, it brightens their day because Sophie makes them feel like she loves them no matter what.
"Pet therapy is just the best, the best medicine for our residents."

At Myrdal you will change to the Flåm Railway, passing through wild and beautiful mountain scenery with waterfalls and steep mountain sides from a height of up to 900 metres and down to the Sognefjord. There is no other adhesion railway in the world running on normal tracks that is so steep over a long distance. You will have one hour at leisure in Flåm, before embarking on a cruise on the Sognefjord, the world's longest and deepest fjord, to Balestrand. However, by adding an overnight in Flåm, you will have the possibility to join a tour to see the Nærøyfjord. The Nærøyfjord is the narrowest fjord channel in Europe, and has been added to UNESCO's list of world heritage sites (please see add-ons for further details). Accommodation in Balestrand (room with fjord view).
Day 03: Balestrand / Optional Fjærland & Glacier Excursion
Breakfast at the hotel. Today we recommend an optional excursion to Fjærland and the Glacier Museum (see add-ons). Cruise along the Fjærlandsfjord and experience one of the most beautiful fjord arms in Norway. Along the fjord, the old hamlets and farms are reminders of the struggle for existence in past times. Local busses will transport you to the Glacier Museum, where you will learn more about the glaciers and how the fjords were formed. From there you will continue to two different extensions of the Jostedal Glacier; Supphellebreen and Bøyabreen glaciers. Return by ferry to Balestrand.
Accommodation in Balestrand (room with fjord view).
Day 04: Cruise along the Sognefjord and coast to Bergen

Accommodation in Bergen.
Day 05: Bergen - day at leisure

From Norheimsund you will depart on a 3-hour cruise on the Hardangerfjord to Eidfjord. The Hardangerfjord is the second largest fjord in Norway, and famous for it's fruit orchards. The contrast created by green hillsides, orchards in blossom and snow-clad mountains has inspired many, and among them the well known Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg with his famous composition «Spring». If travelling in May you will have the possibility to see the lovely blossoming of the fruit trees.
In Eidfjord you you will go on a 2,5 hours sightseeing tour by bus to visit the Hardangervidda Nature Centre and the spectacular Vøringsfossen Waterfall, Norway's highest waterfall. The last part of today's journey is a 30-minute cruise to the small village of Ulvik, beautifully located by the Hardangerfjord. Accommodation in Ulvik.

a group or with a guide. However, if booking an independent activity tour the activities will be
in a group.
Is airport- and hotel transfer included?
Airport- and hotel transfer is not included in the price. Please note however that it is very
easy and convenient to get to and from the airport by public transport. Whenever possible we
always include hotels that are located within short walking distance from the train
station/ferry terminal/bus station/pier. In some cases this is not possible due to availability or
the distance between i.e. the ferry terminal and the central train station. In these cases we
include information in the travel documents on how you can find your way by public transport.
How will I find the way?
We will provide you with a detailed travel itinerary, including information on how to get from
the airport to your hotel, from your hotel to the train station, ferry terminal etc. We also

About the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis)
If you are outdoors one evening during wintertime you might catch a glimpse of some flickering curtains of lights, apparently dancing across the dark sky. This is Northern Lights - Nature's own firework.
Facts about Northern Lights:
- The Northern Lights are particles that are hurled into space after storms on the sun's surface. They are attracted by the magnetic North Pole (and South Pole) and enter the atmosphere in a ring-like zone around the poles.
- The best places to see the Northern Lights are above the arctic circle, making Northern Scandinavia ideal for Northern Lights observations.
- The Northern Lights are visible between November and March when the sky is dark and clear, depending on the Northern Lights activity.
- The best chances of spotting the Northern Lights are away from the lights of the city centres.
- The greatest frequency is between 6 pm and 2 am.
- Patience and dedication will pay off. The Northern Lights may be visible for a couple of minutes or most of the evening.
- Most of the Northern Lights outbursts visible in Northern Scandinavia are green, but large outbursts can also include other colors.
- Northern Lights observations are never guaranteed.
How to increase your chances of experiencing the Northern Lights:
- Go on a Northern Lights visit to a dark place away from the city lights. Our Northern Lights hosts provide a lavvo (traditional Saami tent) with an open fire, a hot drink and a slice of cake while you are waiting for the Northern Lights to appear.
- Participate in an evening activity like dog sledding, a sleigh ride, a trip with reindeer and sled, snowshoeing or a cross-country skiing course. This way, you can enjoy a fun winter activity whilst at the same time wait for the Northern Lights to appear.
- When in Tromsø take bus 37 to Tromsø Museum and take a long stroll along Tromsø Island's dark western side. Use a couple of hours strolling to the bus terminal at Giæverbukta, from where there are frequent departures to the city centre right up until 11:30pm.
- Hire cross-country skis at Sportshuset in Tromsø. Go on a long ski trip in the floodlit ski tracks above the city. Good exercise, fresh air, great views and maybe the appearance of the Northern Lights as well. There are also good floodlit ski tracks across the bridge in Tromsdalen.
- Go on the popular excursion, departing Tromsø by bus at 4pm and arriving in Skjervøy in time to return to Tromsø on the Costal Express Steamer (Hurtigruten). The ship travels through utter darkness and has excellent viewing lounges, which makes it possible to sit inside without missing out on the possibility to see the Northern Lights. It is possible to check the weather forecast and book this tour at the Visitors' Centre right up until an hour before departure.
