    I am a science teacher in the USA. This summer, I attended a training about mapping the ocean. The other day, a beautiful, thick book about the ocean arrived at my school for me. I randomly flipped to a page
that happened to be about Svalbard and Beluga whales.
    Great video, as always! ❀

    11:33 I worked in an office where the temperature could be freezing in the summer due to the air conditioning. It was 16-17C at the most, so we'd wear turtlenecks, sweater vests or jackets when it was scorching hot outside !
    ...and sometimes it was the reverse during the winter. I'd have my usual warm winter ensemble of a knit turtleneck under a winter blazer or a V-neck sweater vest and I'd be half fainting half an hour later due to heat exhaustion !
