I find the old photos fascinating. Looking back at the world as it was.

Our member, and occasionally present member, ErikD had a relative who was an explorer in Greenland in the past, if I remember correctly. It is a pity there are probably no photographs available (?). I do remember some knives though arranged on a fireplace shelf which was the explorers.

I was making a joke. As snipes are almost always shot with shotguns, I wonder if the term "snipers" comes not from shooting an accurate rifle at a target a long way away, but instead from the skilled shotgunner shooting a fast flying snipe?

The only snipe, I have seen when shooting, was a woodcock flying through the forest at tremendous speed, compared to pheasant, when pheasant shooting in England. I had started to swing on it and lining it up, when someone yelled "don't shoot!" and then someone else yelled "shoot" but my opportunity had passed in that second or two.

Once upon a time snipe, Japanese and Manchurian Snipe could be hunted and shot in Victoria, before some protection of migratory birds act was passed and some international treaty closing down that legal season for ever in Australia. A challenging shooting sport for those who could do it.

So, would I be a "goose" if I started telling good shotgunners, that they are "a hell of a sniper"! For good shotgunning?

Would like to go to Svalbard one day. Probably never will ...

BTW just finished watching the Second season of "Fortitude" a fictional series set in Svalbard, but never called that. Filmed in much warmer Iceland ...


Lancaster, can you tell me. In a fictional movies about WW2, I noticed the Allied/USA maps coloured Iceland as "NAZI" or German held. Was this ever the case? I though Iceland was part of the British/USA defence against U-boots lines of defence?

PS Like the colourised U-boot and polar bear image.

up to the war iceland war connected with denmark in personal union but in 1941 it was invaded and occupied by british troops. the british later give it to the united states and I think it was the american "influence" iceland became a republic in 1944. without the war iceland would be a part of denmark today like ireland, finland and so on would be parts of bigger empires

war is the father of all things

actually its very easy today to fly from stavanger/ norway to svalbard, take a look and the cheapest fly is to have for 265 euro round trip

OK, thought Svalbard would be very expensive. I guess Norway subsidises the flights.

And yes, my guess was the map showing Iceland as "Nazi" was just bad movie making 'fact' checking. The movie wasn't big on facts ...

Thanks.
