Maailma lõpus / At the end of the World

On hetki, mil seisad jahmunult suu ammuli kogu looduse vägevuse ees, olles justkui suure etenduse tunnistajaks - kuniks taipad, et võiks ka päästikule vajutada :)
Poegiv liustik. Hinnanguliselt on tegemist umbes 40 meetri kõrguse liustikuseinaga.
Mul oli õnne mitte ainult seal viibida, vaid korra - üle noatera - pääseda ka terve nahaga...

Madala resolutsiooniline skänn slaidist.


There are moments when you just stand still openmouthed and admire all this mighty of nature, just like being given a show in a big open theatre - until you realise, you could press the shutter release button too :)
Calving glacier. An estimation would be about 40 meters high (ca 130 feet) glacier front.
I was lucky not only being there but also had once a narrow escape with a whole skin...

Medalimehed / Medalists

Natuke päikest, natuke tervist, natuke emotsioone, natuke nalja ja natuke pingetki - natuke kõike, mida vajad oma elus, et tunda end elavana. Kõik täiskasvanud, homme on teie kord - 63 kilomeetrit puhast naudingut! Kohtumiseni rajal!


A little bit of sun, a little bit of fun, a little bit of health, a little bit of emotions, and even a little bit of tension - little bit of everything you need in your life to feel yourself alive. All adults, tomorrow is your turn - 63 kilometers of pure delight! See you at the track!

Unustamatu treeningpaik / Unforgettable place to workout

Antarctica, cross-country skiing
Aastate jooksul on paljudel suusaradadel liueldud. Kuid kõige eksootilisem koht, kus murdmaasuusa treeningut tehtud, on kahtlemata Kuninganna Maudi maa Antarktikas. Iseäranis tore oli seejuures tõsiasi, et enne tuli mootorsaaniga endale ise rada sisse ajada. Ja muidugi ei saa mainimata jätta ka treeningujärgset suurepärast Soome uurimisjaama sauna!


Passed years I have been tried out several cross-country ski trails. But without a doubt the most exotic of them has been one on Queen Maud Land in Antarctica. Particularly nice was a fact that first you needed to prepare one with a snowmobile. And for sure, one cannot forget a great Finnish research station sauna after every workout!

Hommiku külmas valguses / In the cold light of morning

Estonian winter, Eestimaa talv
Taaskord on mulle meelepärased ilmad minu lemmik aastaajal - imeline!
Olen alati Eestit põhjamaiseks riigiks pidanud!


Once again I have my taste of weather on a favorite season - wonderful!
I have always considered Estonia as a Nordic country!
