    That BLUE color is amazing. I don't know if I could drive 5 hours on a snowmobile to get to a cabin with no electricity and an outhouse....You're very brave.

      @@CeciliaBlomdahl Ahh OK, after watching more of your vids, especially the shopping one I see why freh milk is expensive. So funny funfact: in Germany we mostly use skimmed (that is the word I think) milk and it lasts for weeks to month without cooling (unopened). Fresh milk is also used but more rarely. And I think for you guys in Norway and Sweden it is the other way around. So maybe importing the skimmed milk from Germany was the best option for the store in Longyearbyen.
