Sortland Aquarium Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

blazius: I have decided to close down the Aquarium permanently. Placing a cache at this site generates a conflict between muggle security and climatic safety - if the cache is too near the water, it will drown; if it is protected from the ocean it will probably be found by someone not familiar with the geocaching game.

Sortland will not be cacheless for long; I have researched a multicache trail that will be deployed in a few days. I'll be more careful in finding a good place for the final container this time.

Geocache Description:

"http://www.geocoins.ca"> This cache is as close as Sortland gets to having a public aquarium. ;-)

The cache is located in an urban environment and is easily accessible for people visiting by boat, car, bike or on foot (the cache is probably not accessible for people in wheelchairs). Sortland is in the Vesterålen area, along the main route to the Lofoten islands.

The cache is in Sortland's town centre, but you will usually not be bothered by muggles. The cache should be possible to find all year round, but it should not be attempted alone in the dark or if there is nasty winds.

The initial tradeable items of the cache were a bunch of sea creatures, including TB Nautilus. The cache also contains a logbook, a pencil and an information sheet - these should stay in the cache!

The cache is a glass jar wrapped in a cloth sack. Travel bugs considering a stay in this cache should note that the circular door has a maximum diameter of 85 mm (3 inches).

The cache is situated in an area where it will occasionally be exposed to seawater. When leaving the cache, please close the lid firmly and replace the cache in a secure manner. Please do not remove the dessicant bags in the cache, they are there to remove any moisture.
