Blog Vorkuta/ Seida 2012: Our first Day
Train Station in Kuovola, photo: Christina Biasi.Tuesday, 26 June 2012Today our small group (Carolina, Christina, Richard) started the expedition to Seida early, early in the morning - 9 o'clock is sooo early.
First stage of the journey took us from Kuopio in Finland to St. Petersburg in Russia. Just an hour before we had the last shower for two months!
We will spend now a relaxing evening in this huge Russian city and tomorrow morning we start the journey to the research site Seida. This trip will take two days and two nights in the train. We are already excited about this experience and hope that everything will be fine.
The scientific equipment should have arrived meanwhile in Seida and we are looking forward to start our work immediately.
We give you the next update after our arrival in Seida.
