Rail replacement service

Apparently, two million litres of water have flooded the railway station in Kiruna, making it impossible for trains to use the station for the time being. The probable cause of this massive leakage is seismic activity induced by the nearby iron ore mine. Thus, instead of taking the train to Umeå, we are now on a bus down to Gällivare where Norrtåg is waiting for us. With the temperature around -20 degrees, the vastness of these tracts really makes you wonder how people survived here before there was modern energy. 

For our own part, life is good with the book chapter submitted and just a few more days of unpacking boxes left until we have finished moving in at Historiegränd. For dinner last night, I made a salmon salad with sweet potatoes and feta which was much appreciated.
