Standing in Kirkenes, at 69°43′N 30°03′E, I could feel the cold north wind blowing in over Bøkfjorden, a branch of the Varanger Fjord which is connected to the Barents Sea. 6 ºC (or 43 ºF) is a rather cold summer temperature, even in the far northeast of Norway.  In comparison, the temperature on Tuesday was more like 25 ºC (or 77 ºF). Good thing I brought warm clothes for my summer vacation.
