Sam on Svalbard

When we went down into the mine we all had to put on overalls and hard hats with head lamps!! We had to take breathing filters in there with us for safety reasons!! We weren't allowed to take any electrical stuff into the mine just in case they caused an explosion!! The head torches were explosive proofed apparently!! In the evening, we visited what's called the wilderness centre for an Arctic Barbeque. It was really great, as we got to try some more reindeer and whale and we were shown a slide show all about the history of Svalbard!! All in all, a really great day!!
