2009 Midwinter Greetings from Troll

The winter team at the Troll research station wish all our
Antarctic colleagues a happy midwinter celebration.

The celebration at Troll will begin Saturday 20th of June with
social games and pizza.  Late at night, we will be in our outdoor
hot tub.  At 00:00 June 21st, a toast will be proposed for the
darkest day of the year.

If weather permits, lunch on midwinter day will be outdoors with
grilled hot dogs and lamb.

Dinner starts at 17:00.  The starter dish is rakfisk with
potatoes, lefse, onion and sour cream.  Rakfisk is a traditional
eastern Norwegian fish dish made from trout, salted and fermented
for two to three months, then eaten without cooking.  The main
course is breast of pork, sauer kraut, potatoes and sauce.  For
desert we will have ice cream with cloudberries.  Beer and
aquavite will be served.

All guests are welcome.  We have tents for guests spending the
night.

Best regards
Asbjørn Djupdal
Station leader, Troll station
