24 July 2024 |
Suddenly two Dutch friends came knocking on the door of the station.
Richard Bintanja is working at the
KNMI
the Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute and and the
University of Groningen.
He has been involved in developing their climate change model. In 2023, his postdoc
Nomikos Skyllas worked with me in the field on Arctic terns.
Ben Bekooy has been the photographer of the
Smeerenburg-project of the
Arctic Centre of Groningen. He has digitized the entire collection of the Arctic Centre and is a regular visitor from long ago. Both man had joined the
SEES-2015 expedition
. Richard brought his daughter Suzanne with him, Ben brought his daughter Marleen. The Arctic bug lives in these families.
 Below a picture made by Ben Bekooy from 4 July 1979, while camping with the Smeerenburg expedition in Ny-Ålesund  Ben returned in 1992 and camped again at the campsite of Ny-Ålesund. Nowadays the campground is closed as there are too many polar bear visits.  | |
