Movie showing Audrey Enevoldson visiting Denmark in 1978.
This very short movie shows Audrey Enevoldson visiting the homestead in Denmark where her Father was born. The visit appears to have taken place in June 1978. I think Krista Veise, Audrey's cousin is also in the movie and possibly other relatives. It is interesting to see the old homestead which was recently renovated. The homestead in 1978 seems to be still very isolated whereas today it is surrounded by modern houses in the middle of a housing estate.
Vardo
Vardø is the eastern most town in Norway and the Nordic countries, east of Saint Petersburg, Kiev and Istanbul. The eastern part of Finnmark is in the same time zone as the rest of the country, even if it is more than an hour at odds with daylight hours.
The port of Vardø, on the Barents Sea, remains ice-free all year round thanks to the effect of the warm North Atlantic drift. Vardø is usually referred to as Norway's only mainland town in the Arctic climate zone, although this is not strictly correct since the town is located on an island about 2 kilometres (1 mi) off the northeastern coast of the Varanger Peninsula. In July, the 24-hr average temperature is only 9.1 °C (48 °F), while the January average is a modest −5.1 °C (23 °F).
