Letter: A geographical explanation

During our trip to the Norwegian archipelago Svalbard, we enjoyed visiting the town of Longyearbyen, including the Husky Cafe and the polar bear warning. Then the expedition traveled farther north to the northernmost functional civilian settlement in the world, Ny-Alesund, where we displayed The Acton Bridge at their post office. 

Best, 

Susan Ellsworth and Rich Feeley 

(Editor’s note: This references the Sept. 7, 2023, edition of The Acton Bridge, which featured a letter from Gerhardt Krammer-Malmqu that corrected a “Where is Your Bridge” entry from Susan Ellsworth and Rich Feeley that identified Svalbard, Norway as the northernmost town in the world.)
