Summer has arrived. Not a scorcher so far but it's early days. Last year's June had unusual amounts of rain but so far this month it's been more like normal, if a tad cooler.

The water is finally back on. There's a few pictures on the works page, but despite sending up cameras and cutting back trees it turned out to be good old fashioned ice. Still frozen in June. Nature eh?

New, thicker pipe layed. Sandwiched in a layer of crushed lava and burried deeper. So fingers crossed.

The new widescreen camera feed to YouTube seems much more stable than the original setup and I've added additional timelapse from this camera to the archive. Obviously no night time archive for a few more months.

I've been tinkering about with AIS. It's a transponder type malarkey that ships use, kind of an aquatic Flightradar24 but for marine traffic. The cabin already feeds FR24 but AIS reception up here isn't great. I've set one up in Akureyri and it works really well, but up at the cabin it's proving difficult to pick up ships in the harbour. A work in progress. Updates to follow.

Still lots to do in and around the cabin. I'll be using a fair bit of my vacation time here. So if your in the north drop by for coffee. Bring cake.
