Tromsø I

Luckily I decided to fly on Sunday afternoon to Tromsø so I had some time to explore the city and surroundings before the conference started on Monday. From the airplane one has a spectacular view on the mountains and I also took some pictures but the window was quite dirty so I will not upload any. But these are nice enough (taken at the Southern peak of the island where the main part of Tromsø is located):







And the climate is even so mild that they have palm trees there which is called the Tromsø palm tree ;)(called acanthus - Riesenbärenklau):

  1. I didn't know that the acanthus reached Tromsø so far... that's horrible :s

    So much for climate shifting doesn't exist
