There are a lot of details that need to be taken care of like taking on fuel and food supplies and waiting for customs officials to fly in from Anchorage so that the people on the ship can be welcomed to the United States. There is a contingent of Swedish staffwho are responsible solely for handling these things, but will not be sailing with us. They are even arranging for all the Swedish citizens to vote in their national election.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/icebreaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2014\/08\/barrowWelcome.png\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-346 size-medium\" title=\"Bowhead whale skulls alongside the \u201cWelcome to Barrow\u201d sign with the Oden sitting offshore in the background at right.\" src=\"http:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/icebreaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2014\/08\/barrowWelcome-300x162.png\" alt=\"Bowhead whale skulls alongside the \u201cWelcome to Barrow\u201d sign with the Oden sitting offshore in the background at right.\" width=\"300\" height=\"162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/icebreaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2014\/08\/barrowWelcome-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/icebreaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2014\/08\/barrowWelcome.png 539w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/a>Barrow, a town of ~4,500 people, has not changed significantly in my mind since I first visited in the early 1970s.
