Update #2: Flights are resuming normal schedules Tuesday and Scandinavian Airlines is providing an extra flight between Olso and Longyearbyen, with a stop in Tromsø, to accomodate the backlog of passengers.

Update #1: A Norwegian Air flight from Oslo is scheduled to land at about 9:15 p.m. Monday, one hour behind schedule, after skies began clearing during the afternoon. The status of other pending arrivials and departures was still not clear at 8:15 p.m. Monday.

Original story: All commercial and charter flights were cancelled Sunday and early Monday at Svalbard Airport due to dense fog, stranding about 260 people, and officials said the prospects for Monday’s flights are dubious.

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.

Stranded Russian plane to be removed by ship in August
A Russian plane carrying tourists that crash landed near the Barneo ice camp at 89 degrees latitude north in early April remains stranded there and won’t be removed until it is transported aboard an icebreaker in August, according the company chartering the flight.

Those needing to move around in Svalbard during the next week may find themselves fuming as the fuel supply at the airport is nearly down to fumes and the gas station will be cleaning out their tanks.
