Holywood vs Ny Alesund!!!!!!
We are back and we are doing an IDL arctic project on what is different between Holywood and Ny Alesund.
Holywood and Ny Aselund both have a post office but the only thing that doesn’t look similure is the way it looked and the way it looks now, the difference between Holywood and Ny Aselund is that the houses are made out of wood and the walls here at Holywood are sometimes made out of wood but mainly made out of stone or brick. Another difference is that they have an arctic research station. If the arctic was here would we have an arctic research station? the climate here is usually -1 but here but the climate there in February and march is normally -9 to -16, April is -6 to -13, may is 0 to -5. At Ny Aselund, in summer the sun never sets and in winter the sun never rises. When you are looking at some of the pictures they look fabulous and the landscape they have is stunning, the view, looking out a window into the mountains is amazing. Holywood landscape is in the middle for me and the view in some places, not really good some other may be amazing you might take a picture. Which place do you prefer? Which place would you stay?

You have managed to find quite a few differences between Holywood and Ny Alesund – well done Oliver. I went to Norway many years ago and the landscape was very dramatic with mountains and fjords which makes it much more exciting than our landscape here in Dumfries and Galloway. However, I do like all the trees and woodland that we have around here.
God to see that you have finished this task Oliver. Some good comparisons between Holywood and Ny Alesund. I agree, the views there do look amazing. I think we are pretty lucky in Holywood with how much green and countryside we have around us though.
Well done, Oliver. I was impressed that you did more research in addition to the map work, to find the differences and similarities.
