I’ve heard the term “minimal” applied to my newest Exhale theme. Normally, I’d welcome such a description. In reality, it is minimal. However, I believe we’re at a shift in the wider WordPress community where minimal = normal.
With the block editor being the standard now, it’s beyond time that themes got out of the way and let users build their pages.
That’s exactly what Exhale is all about. If you want open, clean, and minimal pages, you can do that. If you want a lot of elements, such as popular business/agency designs, that’s an option too. That’s what today’s tutorial is all about. I want to show you how you can transform a minimal design by default into a bold page with various elements.
And, this is all done with the core editor blocks. No custom code. No third-party plugins.
Being perfectly honest, I could build some of this out easier with code. I’m not accustomed to working with visual editors, so this has taken a bit of trial and error for me. The current block editor has some bright spots when it comes to page building and loads of potential.
Let’s get into this tutorial though. I’m just going to run you through the steps I took to build out the page from the above screenshot.
One of my favorite features of Exhale is the “No Post Header/Footer” template. It does exactly what it says. The template doesn’t show the post header or footer.
The template is particularly useful when you want to design the post header/title area. WordPress doesn’t let you do this out of the box. So, the template gives you the freedom to simply disable it on the front end and handle it yourself from the editor.
You may select the page template from the “Page Attributes” box under the “Document” tab. This template is available for both posts and pages.
Caution: I do want to make sure that you at least choose an H1 heading when using this template as the first block for the purposes of SEO. Typically, the post title would be the H1.
The Cover block is my tool of choice when using the “No Post Header/Footer” template. When you use it or another block with the “Full Width” alignment, the page template will pull it up just beneath the header, providing a seamless transition to your page’s content.
As of version 5.3.0 of the Gutenberg plugin, the Cover block allows you to nest a heading, paragraph, and/or button block inside of it, making it a nice intro to your pages.
Ideally, core would have a “Section” or “Container” block so that you could group all of these together and add something like a background if you wanted. From what I understand, such a block is already in the development version of Gutenberg.
Currently, the Gallery block doesn’t allow you to link individual images to custom URLs either. But, you can add custom links to the captions.
I tend to make liberal use of the core Media & Text block in my designs. They’re extremely flexible and allow you to add a headings, paragraphs, and buttons in the media text area.
This particular block has the following settings.
The one gripe I have with this block is that core sets the “Stack on Mobile” setting off by default. While I see the rare use cases that you wouldn’t want to stack this, I’m hoping they turn this on by default in the future.
I created a “Meet The Team” section using the Heading, Paragraph, and Columns blocks. I set the Columns block to 4 columns and added images for each team member along with a caption that displayed their name and role.
I have no doubt that many users will flock to plugins that have “team” blocks, but this is extremely doable with core.
I do find the Columns block a bit glitchy at times, but it has improved since it first landed. It still needs a bit of polishing.
While I still think the Gutenberg user experience needs more iteration and polishing, this is just going to take time and user feedback. You can do a lot with it already.
And, Exhale helps make it look nice.
Go ahead and purchase a copy of Exhale if you haven’t already done so.

Early in the second half, a video review led to a penalty kick for Portugal when Saeid Ezatolahi was judged to have fouled Ronaldo.
In the course of those two matches, both of which ended in draws that allowed Spain and Portugal to advance to the knockout stages, VAR was used to award three penalties that were not called on the field and to award a goal that had been disallowed by an offside call.
"You do not prepare for a game against one player but against a team", added Coates.
More penalties have been awarded at the 2018 Fifa World Cup than at any previous event.
Ronaldo will be hoping to continue his scoring streak in Russian Federation with his new Mercurial Superfly 360 boots as he bids to win the golden boot and World Cup.
The Portugal players are fully aware of the threat Uruguay carry and seemed focused as they begun their preparations for Saturday's clash. Pique's tackle wasn't even reviewed; Ronaldo's elbow was, but the offence was deemed only worthy of a yellow card by a referee who was clearly sweating buckets, literally and otherwise.
I don't know how many times I have seen that 2 seconds when Beiranvand saved Iran's net; It looked like the Iranian keeper wanted to live inside that moment where he saved a penalty from Ronaldo for as long as humanly possible and I don't blame him; "when I saved that penalty, I did not understand anything".
"I waited until the last second to stop that penalty and I feel our hard work could have earned us a spot among the last 16 in Russian Federation", he said.
Going back to the story about my daughter yesterday, I need to know if I am a grandfather or not. The rules don't say if it is Messi or Ronaldo it's a little bit. So the question it is for me, as I said before, it is not about the refs, it's about the attitude and the bravery and the character.
"Players make mistakes, coaches make mistakes and referees make mistakes", Queiroz said. I am not in a good mood, as you can see.

The wedding day is one of the happiest and essential days of most couples’ lives and it should be as perfect as possible. It is the day when all the planning, stress and worrying actually pays off, and the couple can commemorate their love and dedication surrounded by friends and family. To make this blissful occasion perfect in every sense, most couples work for months to make sure that everything is just right. Perth Wedding celebrants understand how essential the wedding day is and how nerve-ranking the planning and preparation for the day can be. They are very pleased to offer marrying couples in lovely Perth their services to ease off some of the stress of planning and the wedding day.
Much attention has to be given to the wedding ceremony and the wedding celebrant that will conduct the wedding. Just as no two couples are identical, so no two marriage ceremonies are alike. Each and every couple has their very own unique requirements. Your wedding ceremony should be all about you and your beliefs, your traditions and your vision for the future – wedding celebrants Perth understand this fact, of course.
Perth is a beautiful place to choose to have your wedding ceremony. Depending on your individual choice of place and backdrop, wedding ceremony can be conducted in different amusing locations in Perth including Perth Parks, Beaches, House, by the River, Private Properties or even Wineries.
If your choice of venue is an outside location, then you should have an alternative venue in mind lest the weather is inclement on the day. Perth and the other parts of Western Australia don’t always have perfect weather conditions for a wedding ceremony, especially in winter. As a result, it is clever to bear in mind the weather conditions, most especially the sun or shade position at the period you wish to have your wedding, as the last thing you want to do is stare into the sun rather than your partner.
There are some lovely parks in Perth that can cater for your perfect wedding ceremony. Some of these Parks include King Park, Sir James McCusker Park, Queens Gardens, Harold Boas Garden, among others. Most of these Parks are managed by government authorities and it is wise to book through them early.
Beach wedding ceremonies are popular in Australia, and since Perth is on the west coast of the country, there are some lovely beaches you can choose for your wedding ceremony. With beautiful soft sand and calm conditions, you can choose a remarkable sunset, morning or afternoon beach wedding. Some of the popular beaches in Perth include Iluka Beach, Trigg Beach, Burns Beach, Cottesloe Beach.
There are a wide variety of private properties in Perth with venues that can offer perfect wedding ceremony for various couples. Most of these private properties cater for every budget so as to suit the taste of every couple. Some of the Perth private properties include Mulberry on Swan, Wanneroo Botanic Gardens, Caversham House, Joondalop Resort, Villa Pourzand, Belvoir Homestead, among others.
In recent years, many of the top wineries in Perth have been offering their great venues for about-to-wed couples. With their wonderful gardens and restaurants, Perth wineries are a great venue to hold a wedding ceremony. The common wineries in the city are Sittella Winery, Black Swan Winery, Upper Reach Winery, Laughin’ Barrel Estate Winery, Sandalford Estate Winery and so forth.
Experience diversity is highly a desirable asset to look for in a wedding celebrant. Since most Perth wedding celebrants are from Perth, Australia, they have formal experience with couples from Perth and suburbs. They can perfectly identify with you and your wedding needs. They would listen to you and quickly react to your needs. This definitely will give you the confidence that your wedding ceremony will be professionally conducted.
Some couples neglect the essence of choosing the right celebrant when planning their wedding. A wedding celebrant has a great influence on the ceremony as well as the couple. The right wedding celebrant should be there for you before and after the ceremony and support you in every way. Perth wedding celebrants pride themselves on offering the best service to couples in Perth and Western Australia at large. Apart from getting signatures on wedding certificates, they offer true support to couples and their dream of the perfect wedding ceremony regardless of the formality, size or location of the event.
Perth Wedding celebrants can incorporate the couple’s ideas into the ceremony and as well make suggestions and advice whenever the couple requires extra creative mind. They will do every possible thing to ensure that you have your dream wedding ceremony.

At the beginning of my 1:10 p.m. journalism class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the room’s sole clock displays the time as 12:04. Whenever I check the time in that class, I have to remember to do the math to figure out the correct time. Adding 66 minutes to the time in my head isn’t hard, but it would be easier if someone could just fix the clock.
In my Literature Humanities class, the clock is on the wall behind me. I can’t obnoxiously turn around and check the clock whenever I feel compelled to; instead, I keep my phone in my lap and check the time there periodically.
I’ve gotten weirdly obsessed with time. Back in my room, I’ll check Instagram at 7:02 p.m. and tell myself that at 7:15 I’ll start my work. And then it’s 7:16, so I tell myself I’ll work at 7:20. But now I’m on YouTube, and I’m watching a six-minute video. So by the time it’s done, it’s 7:22, and now I decide that I’ll work at 7:30. This goes on and on.
I like to know how much longer I have to be in class, but not because I’m uninterested in the material. While I look at the clock in class, I’m counting down how long until I get to go back to my room and take a 10-minute nap before going out somewhere to work on one of the two essays I have due the next day.
Usually, my 10-minute naps turn into 20-minute naps, which then turn into an hour-long naps because I didn’t set an alarm. I’ve only successfully napped for 10 minutes once. While reading the Odyssey an hour before Lit Hum, my eyes wouldn’t stay open, and I couldn’t remember the words I read as I drifted in and out of sleep. I woke up 10 minutes later with enough energy to finish the last 50 pages.
It seems like I never have enough time to do everything I need to do. The past few weeks have been especially hard for me to find time to do work. Lately, I’ve been going to sleep before finishing all my homework. Not on purpose, but late night naps turn into deep sleep very easily. When people in class talk about their homework and talk about how they stayed up until 3 a.m. working, I feel like I’m losing a nonexistent competition. Rather than staying up, I stumble into sleep at 10:56 p.m., and I wake up frantic with anxiety, rushing to sloppily finish my work in time before class. Then, I tell myself that today I will finish my work before I go to sleep. And that weekend I tell myself that I’ll finish my work ahead of time. I’m lying to myself, because this never happens.
Today a friend sent a text in our group chat saying she was going to skip dinner. In the last few weeks, she’s often skipped lunch in order to go to the Writing Center or office hours or math tutoring. A few weeks ago, I had an essay due before class, and I skipped lunch in order to finish it. As a stressed college student, I see time as a resource that I have to take full advantage of. We experience time in blocks—each one allocated to work, clubs, eating, and sleeping—and when our work needs more time, the meals block or sleeping block get less time.
My first month of college has been full of academic failures (and successes, but it’s easier to dwell on the mistakes). I’ve forgotten to turn in an assignment, turned in an essay 20 hours late, and turned in a different essay 22 hours late. All of these failures can be traced back to my difficulties with measuring, separating, and allocating time. It’s bad, I know, but I’m really trying to be better.
Before coming to Columbia, I’d heard about “stress culture” and how it affects people. But I thought that it was something you could avoid by managing your time, getting enough sleep, and eating a healthy diet. Maybe it is manageable, and I just haven’t figured it out yet. I know that my perception of time as blocks undoubtedly exacerbates my tense relationship with stress.
I don’t know how to solve the problem of stress culture at Columbia, but I think working on time management could help. Surely, staring at the clock and being hyperaware of every minute that passes isn’t beneficial. I’m still trying to understand how I can balance my life as a student without being so attentive to time. Or maybe I should get a watch.

lowercased:
at the beginning of my 1:10 p.m. journalism class on tuesdays and thursdays, the room’s sole clock displays the time as 12:04. whenever i check the time in that class, i have to remember to do the math to figure out the correct time. adding 66 minutes to the time in my head isn’t hard, but it would be easier if someone could just fix the clock.
in my literature humanities class, the clock is on the wall behind me. i can’t obnoxiously turn around and check the clock whenever i feel compelled to; instead, i keep my phone in my lap and check the time there periodically.
i’ve gotten weirdly obsessed with time. back in my room, i’ll check instagram at 7:02 p.m. and tell myself that at 7:15 i’ll start my work. and then it’s 7:16, so i tell myself i’ll work at 7:20. but now i’m on youtube, and i’m watching a six-minute video. so by the time it’s done, it’s 7:22, and now i decide that i’ll work at 7:30. this goes on and on.
i like to know how much longer i have to be in class, but not because i’m uninterested in the material. while i look at the clock in class, i’m counting down how long until i get to go back to my room and take a 10-minute nap before going out somewhere to work on one of the two essays i have due the next day.
usually, my 10-minute naps turn into 20-minute naps, which then turn into an hour-long naps because i didn’t set an alarm. i’ve only successfully napped for 10 minutes once. while reading the odyssey an hour before lit hum, my eyes wouldn’t stay open, and i couldn’t remember the words i read as i drifted in and out of sleep. i woke up 10 minutes later with enough energy to finish the last 50 pages.
it seems like i never have enough time to do everything i need to do. the past few weeks have been especially hard for me to find time to do work. lately, i’ve been going to sleep before finishing all my homework. not on purpose, but late night naps turn into deep sleep very easily. when people in class talk about their homework and talk about how they stayed up until 3 a.m. working, i feel like i’m losing a nonexistent competition. rather than staying up, i stumble into sleep at 10:56 p.m., and i wake up frantic with anxiety, rushing to sloppily finish my work in time before class. then, i tell myself that today i will finish my work before i go to sleep. and that weekend i tell myself that i’ll finish my work ahead of time. i’m lying to myself, because this never happens.
today a friend sent a text in our group chat saying she was going to skip dinner. in the last few weeks, she’s often skipped lunch in order to go to the writing center or office hours or math tutoring. a few weeks ago, i had an essay due before class, and i skipped lunch in order to finish it. as a stressed college student, i see time as a resource that i have to take full advantage of. we experience time in blocks—each one allocated to work, clubs, eating, and sleeping—and when our work needs more time, the meals block or sleeping block get less time.
my first month of college has been full of academic failures (and successes, but it’s easier to dwell on the mistakes). i’ve forgotten to turn in an assignment, turned in an essay 20 hours late, and turned in a different essay 22 hours late. all of these failures can be traced back to my difficulties with measuring, separating, and allocating time. it’s bad, i know, but i’m really trying to be better.
before coming to columbia, i’d heard about “stress culture” and how it affects people. but i thought that it was something you could avoid by managing your time, getting enough sleep, and eating a healthy diet. maybe it is manageable, and i just haven’t figured it out yet. i know that my perception of time as blocks undoubtedly exacerbates my tense relationship with stress.
i don’t know how to solve the problem of stress culture at columbia, but i think working on time management could help. surely, staring at the clock and being hyperaware of every minute that passes isn’t beneficial. i’m still trying to understand how i can balance my life as a student without being so attentive to time. or maybe i should get a watch.

I wrote this for a recent Prayer Circle for Animals Weekly Update.
This internet world, techie though it may be, is linking us together in ways few could have imagined 100 years ago. With it, the power of our prayers has grown exponentially along with the realization that millions of us are praying together for a world of peace for all beings. Recently, I met a wonderful new e-friend when she ordered some of the animal prayer flags. Her name is Erica Settino, and I want to share what she is up to, because I know you will love it. Her group is called Karuna for Animals: Compassion in Action. “Karuna,” of course is the Sanskrit word for compassion. They are an all volunteer yoga based group “whose members seek to promote compassion (karuna), peace (shanti), and loving-kindness (metta) for animals of all species. It is our mission to raise awareness and funds for the rights of all animals. Through a dedicated practice of the science of yoga, community outreach, humane education, vegan cooking and nutrition education, and monthly fundraisers, we aim to cultivate the change we hope to see in the world.” The group also has a goal of creating an Animal Sharanam (Sanskrit for sanctuary) on Long Island.
Suresh Jindal is quoted on the website: “Once we experience and feel this inter-dependence of all living beings, we will cease to hurt, humiliate, exploit and kill another. We will want to free all sentient beings from suffering. This is karuna, compassion, which in turn gives rise to the responsibility to create happiness and its causes for all."
Please visit Erica’s website when you get a chance. Not only is it lovely, inspiring, and informative, but it lets us know—there are so many of us holding the vision, doing the work, praying the prayers. So this week, let us hold in our hearts a special prayer for all those out there, many whom we have not yet met, who are faithfully praying for the animals. May the compassion and loving-kindness being endlessly sent out by all of them and by us radiate into every heart on earth.

The annual contest has been organized since 2006 in collaboration with Latvian universities and colleges and market professionals. Its objective is to arouse students’ interest on developments in the Latvian and Baltic stock markets as well as the opportunities they are offering to investors and businesses, and to increase students’ awareness and understanding of the role of capital markets in the national economy and to support high-quality research projects devoted to the development of the industry in Latvia and the Baltic countries. This year the research papers entered for the contest were evaluated by: Liene Dubava, Board Member of NASDAQ OMX Riga and Chairman of the Jury; Nataļja Lāce, Professor, Riga Technical University; Nataļja Točelovska, Head of Brokerage and Securities Issuance, SEB Bank; Tālis Putniņš, a lecturer from Stockholm School of Economics in Riga.

We are also pleased with the increasing activity from the universities and colleges in Latvia”, says Liene Dubava, Board Member of NASDAQ OMX Riga and Chairman of the contest Jury.

It has a built-in refrigerator and crystal glassware.
Volvo -- a carmaker not typically known for its flash -- has unveiled a luxe version of its high-end S90 for the Chinese market. The move is part of a reboot under a new owner to position Volvo as a world-class exporter. These luxe cars and a handful of other models will be produced in China, not Sweden, where the company is headquartered. Some say the shift helps it better compete with other automakers in one of the world's top markets.
The upgrade provide the Jeeves experience. First off, there’s no front passenger seat. In that seat’s place is a special console that can store shoes, serve as a footrest or give a backseat passenger with long legs space to stretch out.
The change (previewed at the Shanghai Motor Show in 2015) helps “meet the chauffeur-driven executive customers’ need to relax or work while on the move,” a Volvo design executive explained in a statement.
A backseat console includes a small built-in refrigerator. It’s large enough for two bottles of bubbly and comes complete with two handmade crystal glasses (from Orrefors, the esteemed Swedish glassmaker).
A fold-out worktable can keep mobile moguls productive as can a special display screen that appears at the tap of a finger (and can replace your laptop screen). The display can be used for work or entertainment, with a system that’s compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Of course, the car is semi-autonomous and its safety systems cover cities and rural areas. There’s even a feature called Large Animal Protection.
The car’s price has not yet been announced.
The 'chauffeur experience' means no front passenger seat.
The built-in display screen could replace your laptop.
The special storage console makes space for your shoes.
"Large Animal Protection" (a semi-autonomous driving feature) means you won't hit this moose.
A fold out table gives you space to work -- or dine.
No prices have yet been released.

I've used strips before with little results. I'd really like to try a SmileBrilliant Teeth Whitening Kit!
I haven't tried any whitening products yet, but I would like to. I drink too much coffee and it stains my teeth.
I once tried to whiten my teeth with white strips but it did not work.
I tried strips before but I started gagging so I stopped using them.
I tried the whitening strips but they would never stay put as long as it said to keep them on a certain amount of time, so I threw them out.
I tried the Crest White strips but I do not think they were "strong" enough... I sure would love to win this. The reviews are good. Sounds like it would really really do the trick, for real.
I have never tried to whiten.

It’s a time when luminaries from business, politics and the arts deliver wisdom (and humor) to students eager for the next stage.

Marc Benioff shared when he did what all lost thirtysomethings do: travel to India.

If you’re a frequent trendy boutique shopper, you’ve probably seen them before—those unknown beauty products lined up on the shelves of some of your favorite stores. After years spent testing hair products and renewing your beauty routines with the next best thing to hit the market from top brands, you may have never thought about giving indie products a go.
Anthropologie, a popular women's store with 200 locations worldwide, is known for its chic products ranging from apparel to home furniture and decor. It’s also the home to many up-and-coming hair care brands with some seriously rave reviews.
Ready to amp up your hair care arsenal with some hidden beauty gems? We rounded up our top picks of indie products at Anthropologie you can pick up on your next shopping spree.
If you’re tired of standard sea salt sprays, this glitzy indie find may be the update you need for your summer hair care routine. Captain Blankenship, a small female-run company in the Hudson River Valley, offers the Mermaid Magic Sea Salt Shimmer Spray Sampler Set. For wavy mermaid locks with a treasure-inspired twist, these spritzes are infused with sea salt for texture and sparkling mica in three shades—silver, gold, and rose gold—for a subtle shimmer to suit your every mood.
Hair products that help style and strengthen our locks simultaneously are few and far between. Luckily, popular indie brand Living Proof provides a variety of products focused on styling and hair health. We recommend the Living Proof PhD 5-In-1 Styling Treatment. Safe for colored and chemically treated hair, this elixir allows you to style and treat in a single step. Formulated with Living Proof's patented "Healthy Hair Molecule" (OFPMA) and "Thickening Molecule" (PBAE), it strengthens and conditions while enhancing your mane's luster, volume, and polish.
Hot rollers have come a long way from the ancient set you have buried in your old beauty drawer. For locks with exceptional luster, the T3 Volumizing Hot Rollers Luxe Set set creates a look with high-volume and textural waves. Each is enhanced with velvet flocking for a boost of tangle-free shine and is powered by dual-temperature settings for use with all hair types. As always, we recommend using a salon quality heat protectant before any heat styling.
For your next self-care day, ditch the expensive spa packages and opt for affordable at-home hair treatments like the Skip The Spa Thermal Hair Wrap from Eva NYC. Infused with 38 plant-harvested oils and extracts like avocado, olive, and raspberry, this damage-control mask deep conditions and treats all hair types, providing instant hydration and revitalization results that last up to nine days.
No hair care routine is complete without a quality heat protectant. Before your next heat styling sesh, apply Eva NYC Get Glossed Hair Serum to your strands.This lightweight serum protects against damaging heat styling while adding radiant shine and strengthening your locks. Enriched with argan oil and trademarked Keravis, it delivers optimal anti-breakage benefits and will increase the strength and flexibility of every strand.
When it comes to hair oil, the benefits and uses on your strands are endless. On the lookout for a new oil treatment? Try The Hair Oil from Prim Botanicals. An intensive hair and scalp treatment, this oil can be used as a leave-in mask, a hot oil treatment, a heat protectant, or for a final touch of shine.
Searching for a go-to hair brush designed to free your locks from snarls? The Tangle Teezer Original Detangling Brush glides through your tresses, getting rid of tangles along the way. Perfect for all hair types—including extensions—its short bristles are gentle enough to avoid breakage and massage the scalp for increasingly luscious locks after every use.
If you struggle with split ends but aren’t ready to hit the salon for your annual trim just yet, pick up Split End Therapy No Rinse Leave In Ponytail Treatment from Korean brand KoCostar to refresh your strands. Wrap your tresses in this revolutionary sheet treatment for fifteen minutes to deliver instant shine and long-lasting rejuvenation to your split ends. Your hair will look and feel stronger, silkier, and softer—and a clean, no-rinse-required application makes it ideal for travel.

How can I open a gziiped file with out uncompressing a 2 gig .gz file.

I'd suggest using Archive::Tar, basing on Compress::Zlib.
lib for Compress::Zlib to work.
access to the gzip stream that is possible with Compress::Zlib.
If you knew it already - you should have probably written in your orig.
posting that Archive::Tar didn't help you.
.gz file and any others.
I can appreciate this is easier said than done :-(.
not forking a gzip process.
Compress::Zlib is probably your best bet.
> gzipped files as well as ordinary ones.
will uncomplainingly act as cat if its input isn't compressed.
>not forking a gzip process.
the first few bytes of a given file look like a gzip archive.
See http://www.inwap.com/ for PDP-10 and "ReBoot" pages.
>>gzipped files as well as ordinary ones.
is still a long way off for me :-(.
>the first few bytes of a given file look like a gzip archive.

Japan who's written File::MMagic for just this purpose.

file-handles as an existence proof that this is possible.

Waaaaay back I gave the Obamas art advice for the White House walls. They essentially ignored me.
Maybe it is because Cuban-Americans are the only Latino/Hispanics who overwhelmingly vote Republican (in the 90s percentwise).
Here's what some other folks think the Obamas should acquire for the White House walls.
I still think that my recommendation is the best; the most plebeian and the clearest and closest to the ground and what I think the new White House tenants need to bring to the White House walls.
What art or artist do you think that the Obamas should acquire? Tell me in the comments.

I’m taking one more picture of the hull of the Framm at the Framm Museum in Oslo. I look at the display of my camera and shake my head disapprovingly. I’ve tried several angles to captivate the size of it, but none of them seems to do it justice. The Framm is a former polar expedition vessel used by Norwegian explorers like Roald Amundsen and Fridtjof Nansen to explore the polar regions. Since I was a child I always envied the time when historical figures like Colombus or Vasco Da Gama explored new regions and discovered new territories. That is way I booked myself a spot as a crew member on the Hummingbird, a top class expedition yacht. The journey? Sailing from Tromsø to Svalbard or in other words: sailing the Arctic. I’m on my way to Tromsø, where my journey begins in about two days. With no prior experience, this sailing expedition will be a complete new challenge for me.
How big of a challenge would become clear only days after departure when we cross the Barentz Sea to reach the Svalbard archipelago. Heavy winds would allow us to do the 550 nautical mile crossing in only three days. A speed record. The downside: it also meant me vomiting and being bedbound for three days. Fortunately seasickness does pass and when Svalbard was within sight, I stood back on deck firm and solid. Ok, that might be a little bit exaggerated but still… I was able to enjoy the first views of Spitsbergen. More than enough for me. Our free afternoon in Longyearbyen would give me the extra time to fully recover and regain my strenghts for the rest of the journey.
Pretty much 60 percent of Svalbard is glaciated and with hundreds of impressive glaciers all over Svalbard, there seems no logic in why we were heading towards Lilliehookbreen in the Lilliehookfjorden two days of sailing away. It’s just one of those things you have to see to be convinced why the journey is worth it. Lilliehookbreen is one of the biggest and fastest calving glaciers in the world and is situated 65 nautical miles northerly than Longyearbyen, which meant we were crossing 79 degrees north. Bits of icebergs surrounded us when entering Lilliehookfjorden and a thick mist made the experience even more surreal. The glacier ice wall was still over ten kilometers away when we already had to dodge icebergs, growlers and bergy bits.
If a glacier cracks and nobody hears it, does it still make a sound? It probably does, but we are even more sure that even when you don’t see the glacier, it makes a sound. Cracking sounds of ice moving came creeping in while views remained zero to nothing. Hearing nothing but the crackling, rumbling and fizzling sounds of ice pushing more ice is as close to nature’s force as one can get. And as if the sounds of ice pushing and glaciers calving wasn’t enough, the thick mist cleared up like a stage curtain and revealed the massive 11 kilometers wide ice wall in full glory.
The first part of our sailing expedition had been a combination of crossing the Barentz Sea and finetuning (or in my case: developing) our sailing skills. Skipper Susie had made several attempts of demonstrating us the reefing technique, even though crashing puffins to the sea surface had drawn the attention of the crew on well… most occasions. Puffins weren’t the only type of wildlife we would spot during our voyage. Our hopes were set on spotting the mighty polar bear, one of world’s most feared predators and endangered species. However, no polar bear was to be seen during our first days up north but we forgot about him for a whale (get it?) when we were privileged to spot seals, walruses and even a sperm whale spouting and tail flipping. Soon we would add the Svalbard reindeer and the Arctic fox to that list when hiking around Ny Alesunds, world’s most northerly settlement.
When we were talking about the highlights of our trip on our last evening before returning to Longyearbyen, many different stories where shared. Seeing the walruses on the sandy beach at Brucebukta, the cracking sounds of the Lilihook glacier or even the slow journey towards it avoiding icebergs along the way in the clouded surroundings. Or what about the many evenings to be memorized, playing a very vicacious game of uno under the midnight sun. Without doubt the most northerly game of uno ever played. Every member of the 2017 Hummingbird crew to Svalbard has captivating moments that are unique in one’s lifetime and should and probably will be cherished forever. Different moments during our journey experienced from different points of view. Little did we know that only eight hours later all of this would change.
A tip of a Russian guide in Pyramiden was the initiation of seeing the mighty polar bear, king of the Arctic, on the rocky peninsula near Nordenskioldbreen and of what will without doubt be the highlight of everyone’s trip. One last time on this trip we made an early start, hoisting the main and plotting our course towards one last stop. Whether we were doubting we would actually still see the polar bear during this trip, or were convinced fortune would turn in our favour once again, or just struggling with a hangover caused by some serious drinking the night before, our hopes were the same: catching a glimpse of one of the most fragile and endangered species, in his own habitat. The emotions flaring, were of intense joy, happiness and even relief. Witnessing the polar bear truly was the highlight and a perfect ending of one heck of a journey in the Arctic.
