Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Dr. Michael Wenger 24. December 2021 | Society

The Christmas days are here and also the PolarJournal team will spend the next days with Christmas trees, celebrations, mulled wine and hopefully some snow instead of polar news.

But before we also retire for the Christmas season, we want to give you a glimpse of what Christmas looks like in other polar regions. We have selected some tweets from the Antarctic and Arctic and post them here for you.

Next Monday we will be back online for you.

It's beginning to look a lot like #Christmas in the #FalklandIslands #summer – and here's a festive idea for anyone decorating their #Christmas tree – try a authentic #Falklands bauble, inspired by @scandytweets pic.twitter.com/iHkjjA4FtG
