Participants may choose to combine this meeting with the IPY meeting in Oslo the following week (www.ipy-osc.no), and to travel south on the coastal steamer (www.hurtigruten.com/norway). This coastal route is widely known as a breathtaking way to take in Norway's beautiful coastal scenery. Under the current schedule, ships leave daily from Tromsø, heading south, at 01:30. They reach Bodø 24 hours later (01:30 the next night) and Trondheim 53 hours later (at 06:30 on Monday, with a Friday night/Saturday morning departure from Tromsø). Regular flights are then available to Oslo from either Bodø or Trondheim. As of December, 2008, the price of the trip from Tromsø to Trondheim, with a single cabin, is about € 550.
