Cachen er publiseret den 26. september 2021 til mit

I cachen: Logbog, blyant og meget små bytteting.
Cachen befinder sig ved golfbanen, og nær skydebanen, så man ofte kan høre skud. På Svalbard skulle man være bevæbnet, når man gik udenfor byen, så det kan man jo leve sig lidt ind i her, men skuddene vil nok jage alle isbjørnene væk.
Corona Borealis er en serie Mystery (Puzzel), hvor puslespillene først skal samles, og derved fremkommer koordinaterne, som kan indsættes i Geocheckeren, og så bliver positionen flyttet til det rigtige sted.
Puslespillene er rimelig lette, så hvis du har børn eller partner, som også gerne vil involveres, så er det en god mulighed. 70 brikker.
Foto til seriens puslespil er taget på mine rejser til forskellige lande.
Svalbard blev en fantastisk oplevelse. Geocaching var min turistguide og helt specielt deroppe var de geologiske Earthcaches. Netop i den weekend den 28-30. august 2021 blev der på forskellige tider udgivet 5 nye cacher/skatte, og de var temmelig svære, men jeg blev førstefinder på dem, og det var spændende og stort for mig.
Jeg holdt et lille event deroppe, og næste dag var jeg så på tur med en belgier forbi isbjørne advarsels skiltene, idet der var kommet endnu en traditionel cache, som vi også var de første til at finde, og vi mødte den lokale udgiver. Jeg havde fundet en kanonkugle på størrelse med en tennisbold, så jeg var også bevæbnet – men jeg ville aldrig gøre en bjørn fortræd!
Det traf sig så mærkeligt, at der netop i denne weekend var 100 års jubilæum for Svalbard Kirke, og der blev udendørs afholdt mindehøjtidelighed med taler af præsten og to biskopper samt lederne af både den katolske kirke og den russisk ortodokse kirke. De holdt nogle meget fine og spændende taler om livet deroppe og om strabadserne, fællesskabet og leve i pagt med naturen.
På en tur besøgte jeg kirkegården og på det grønne græs lige ved vejen, kun 10 meter fra mig græssede et stort smukt rensdyr. Vi var ikke bange for hinanden, men Rudolf vidste vel, at jeg plejede at være julemand på min skole. Folk var helt sikre på, at julemanden boede her i verdens nordligste bebyggelse, Longyearbyen, og der var opstillet verdens største postkasse.
Man skal ikke snyde sig selv for et besøg på det flotte og spændende museum, med udstillingen ”Liv i lys og is”. Det skildrer livsbetingelserne, hvalfangsten og dyrene, tundraen og arktis, pelsjægerliv, geologi og minedrift. Klimaforandringerne ses mest tydeligt heroppe og er genstand for videnskabelige undersøgelser om økosituationen. Golfstrømmen og de andre hovedstrømninger ender heroppe og fører med sig forureningen i vandet, som ikke forsvinder, men optages i fødekæden og ender i dyr og mennesker.
Der er indrettet et globalt opbevaringssted nær byen for frø af alle kornsorter, således at de ikke går tabt, selv ved større naturkatastrofer. De opbevares i kæmpe områder dybt i bjerget, så den holder en temperatur på -18 grader. Der er mere end en million sorter. Alt i alt en stor kultur og spirituel oplevelse.

In the cache: Logbook, pencil and very small trade items.
The cache is located at the golf course, and near the shooting range, so you can often hear shots. On Svalbard, you should be armed when you go outside the city, so you can think a little about that here, but the shots will probably chase all the polar bears away.
Corona Borealis is a series of Mystery (Puzzles), where the puzzles must first be solved, and thus the coordinates appear, which can be inserted in the Geochecker, and then the position is moved to the right place.
The puzzles are reasonably easy, so if you have children or a partner who would also like to get involved, then this is a good option. 70 pieces.
Photo for the series puzzle is taken on my travels to different countries.
Svalbard was a great experience. Geocaching was my tourist guide and especially up there were the geological Earthcaches. Just this weekend the 28-30. August 2021, 5 new caches / treasures were released at different times, and they were quite difficult, but I became the first finder on them, and it was exciting and big for me.
I held a small event up there, and the next day I was then on a trip with a Belgian past the polar bear warning signs, as there had come another traditional cache, which we were also the first to find, and we met the local publisher. I had found a cannonball the size of a tennis ball, so I was armed too - but I would never hurt a bear!
It happened so strangely that just this weekend was the 100th anniversary of Svalbard Church, and a memorial service was held outdoors with speeches by the pastor and two bishops as well as the leaders of both the Catholic Church and the Russian Orthodox Church. They gave some very nice and exciting talks about life up there and about the hardships, the community and living in harmony with nature.
On a walk I visited the cemetery and on the green grass right by the road, only 10 meters from me grazed a large beautiful reindeer. We were not afraid of each other, but Rudolf probably knew that I used to be Santa Claus at my school. People were quite sure that Santa Claus lived here in the world's northernmost settlement, Longyearbyen.
You should not deceive yourself for a visit to the beautiful and exciting museum, with the exhibition "Life in light and ice". It depicts the living conditions, the whaling and the animals, the tundra and the Arctic, fur hunting life, geology and mining. Climate change is most clearly seen up here and is the subject of scientific studies on the ecosition. The Gulf Stream and the other main currents end up here and carry with them the pollution in the water, which does not disappear but is absorbed into the food chain and ends up in animals and humans.
A global storage site near the city has been set up for seeds of all cereals so that they are not lost, even in the event of major natural disasters. They are stored in huge areas deep in the mountain so that it maintains a temperature of -18 degrees. There are more than a million varieties. All in all, a great culture and spiritual experience.
