There will be no oil or gas drilling
in Norway's beautiful Lofoten Islands (which I first learned about in this great MeFi thread,) though there will be drilling in the Barents Sea.

The photos on the "Lofoten Islands" link are wonderful!

We're also keeping up with the whaling. Just so you know.

Absolutely beautiful, but still freakin' cold, IMO. I don't need tropical, but dang if I don't like to thaw out occasionally. Cold is one thing, lack of light is another. This is a SAD time of year for me. Twenny four hours with no light--just shoot me! I'm longing for the winter solstice and we still have 9 hours of daylight here. Winter sucks.

I'm from Lofoten for fuck's sake!!
