It’s done! After two months of work, a lot of trial and error, some frustration, several nightshifts, but also a lot of fun, my website mountainpolarbear.com is ready to be shown to the world.

Why is the website called mountainpolarbear.com? Well, I’m a certified polar bear (see the Svalbard travel report) who prefers to travel to Arctic regions or to climb mountains. Mountaineering will also be the main topic of my travel blog this summer, as my first trip in July goes to the French Alps, and the second one to the Russian Caucasus Mountains. Stay tuned – if you like you can get an e-mail alert when I update my blog.

Unfortunately, the photo galleries are not finished yet. I wanted to wait with the website launch until they are ready, but since I will go on holiday next Friday and want to start blogging, I have to add the galleries later.

What is finished already are the travel reports from five of my recent trips, illustrated with a few snapshots and some amusing youtube videos. Just take a look yourself, and if you’d like to leave a comment, feel free to write something on the guestbook page. Looking forward to your feedback!

Your mountain polar bear
