SVALBARD (Spitzbergen) at 80 deg. North
Many years ago I get known with several of the old
trappers wich lived years and years of their life with ice and snow at
Svalbard during the long winterseason. In particular Hilmar Nøis, Edvin Nøis and Julius
Nøis. I also meet Henry Rudi and Arthur Oxaas, but because I was very
young then and I did not pricuate the opportunity and knowledge at that time. I do now.
BUT - I do have Hilmars memoars from 1909 - 1963. Hilmar stayed 38
winterseasons at Svalbard as hunter and trapper.
