The weather websites say, the temperature in Kirkenes is below -20°C and feels like -30. Agreed, we're breathing crystals here.

Who would have guessed
Who would have guessed, but the result of trying to capture the magic of a polar light with a mobile phone is kind of dissappointing.

Vladimir & Vladimir
Today the two dancers from Russia arrived, Vladimir Dorokhin (r.) and Vladimir Varnava. They will be performing to three of the Finnmark Diaries songs. Vladimir Varnava, who flew in from Paris today also performed at our opera "There Are Places In Our Heads One Can Travel To" here in Kirkenes in 2011. He now developed the choreography for The Finnmark Diaries.

Setting up the stage
So it's starting to get busy. Just now Lydteamet unloaded their trucks to start building up the stage for our performance. It's set up right behind the church overlooking the Kirkenesfjorden

Agreed
When even people form Kirkenes or from Russia point out that it's really really cold right now, there is no point arguing.
