It’s a bit late, but that’s because we just kept adding pages while muttering “I can’t believe this is happening.” What started as an ordinary 12-page fishwrapper is a record-size 28 pages due to five remarkable people making remarkable headlines during the fifth month of the year (hence the “five on five” theme), two virtual polar bear encounters whose videos merit “G” and “X” ratings, more madness about the local housing crisis, and various other moments of wonder including winning tales from the winners of a record-size Spitsbergern Marathon and Longyearbyen reaching its 90th month of above-average temperatures. Plus lots of random weirdness and other “ordinary” happenings in the world’s most extraordinary community. (Note: we did print a 28-page issue following the avalanche in February of 2017 that destroyed a couple of apartment buildings, but that included a four-page guest article. This time it’s all us and includes a preview of major project – see the article about Freia – about to debut). Sorry to make a pitch, but the cost of printing this issue is massive – as in 35 kroner a copy. Please, oh please, if so inclined make a donation in one of our jars where copies are available, donate in the link on the right side of the page or via Vipps at 41514638.
