A Russian helicopter flying from Pyramiden with eight Russians aboard crashed into the sea a few kilometers north of Barentsburg while en route to the Russian mining settlement, the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre of Northern Norway reported Thursday afternoon. Officials, after six hours of searching, said it is possible they have located where part or all of the aircraft may be submerged and they are still continuing to search for survivors.

Mark Sabbatini

I'm a professional transient living on a tiny Norwegian island next door to the North Pole, where once a week (or thereabouts) I pollute our extreme and pristine environment with paper fishwrappers decorated with seemingly random letters that would cause a thousand monkeys with a thousand typewriters to die of humiliation. Such is the wisdom one acquires after more than 25 years in the world's second-least-respected occupation, much of it roaming the seven continents in search of jazz, unrecognizable street food and escorts I f****d with by insisting they give me the platonic tours of their cities promised in their ads. But it turns out this tiny group of islands known as Svalbard is my True Love and, generous contributions from you willing, I'll keep littering until they dig my body out when my climate-change-deformed apartment collapses or they exile my penniless ass because I'm not even worthy of washing your dirty dishes.
