Sunday and Snow and Sun.

Leaving Oksfjord, just about 4:30 this afternoon.

A lazy day. We stopped for about an hour in Hammerfest. Population 10,200.  It was a toasty 33 degrees and the sun was out.

In the morning, we were encouraged to go out on deck to admire a natural gas transfer station.

 
The gas works is cheerfully named Snow White.
We dock at the industrial pier.

We have an hour but town is an unknown distance away. And, since it is Sunday, nothing will be open.  So, I walk around the quay.  

Things are very costly in Norway.

That works out to $9.57 per gallon.  And yes, Norway is swimming in oil. That doesn’t mean gas is cheap.  

By the time I got back to the ship, it was snowing.

In the snow.

And, finally…

Northern lights.

If the clouds hold off, I have hopes of seeing the lights tonight.
