Gosh, I traveled there by fat albert. We'd been issued with all the arctic and mountain warfare kit as it was February - thermal underwear, ankle to neck zip up onesie, arctic parker, goggles, mittens, mukluk boots etc, which we all dutifully put on before we landed. We then traipsed down the ramp looking like 'skimos, into blazing sunshine to find the locals in shorts and tee shirts. We all felt really silly until a blizzard hit about half an hour later.
Stunning place though, like the surface of another planet. Oh and the locals were friendly. Very friendly. Especially the girls...
Oh, and don't eat the yellow snow.
