250 km north of the #Arctic Circle lies the #Ilulissat Icefjord🇬🇱, a @UNESCO site, home to one of the fastest-moving & most active glaciers in the world
After the recent heatwave, a large part of the fjord is already sea ice-free

Having visited 310 of 1,500 'MTP Locations' ranks me the 783rd most traveled person in the world in the @MostTraveled app...
I like how the MTP app doesn't just do countries (I visited 62 of 193), but splits them up into regions, making a better map.
How do you rank? #MTP

This may be a long shot, but both #Aurora chances and weather are GO for a Northern Lights hunt in #Oxfordshire tonight! The #Ridgeway may be a good place to go…
Wish me luck! #AuroraUK

Very much enjoyed the two lectures about the physics and physicists of the Northern Lights by Prof. @glennnpatrick yesterday and today!
Now hoping we can put our learnings into practice shortly! #AuroraHunting

Oh my… this ship is a goldmine for #SmartCity research! Never expected to find so much great and recent study material on a ship! That’s my holiday week sorted, lol! 🚢📖 #SSP23
Apart from the specific question, the ethical discussion about cruise destinations is good to have.
Do you ever consider the ethical - including environmental, social and economical - impact of your cruise destinations? #cruise

Getting off the 750th flight of my life last night. 🛬
How do I know? Well, I have kept a record of all my flights since my first flight in 1981, as many aviation geeks do… A little thread… 🧵 #Avgeek
How did I celebrate flight 750?
By enjoying an extra bag of free crisps with my water in @British_Airways economy.
None of that business or first class stuff you see so much in #frequentflyer communities. I am self-employed 😉✈️ #avgeeks
Short queue to enter Saint Peter’s basilica… Not too bad a wait in the warm late autumn sun… #Vatican
On the road again! For the reason why I am going here follow me on @timmermansr. For some travel impressions stay tuned on this account 😊
#Barcelona will forever be one of my home cities. I only lived here for a year, but I love coming back and relive the Barcelona life, if even for only a few days… #travel #catalunya #spain 🇪🇸
