An Irish airline has announced a new based aircraft and three additional routes at Shannon Airport. Ryanair has confirmed that its fourth based aircraft at the facility will enable it to run services to Lapland, Madeira and Madrid from Winter 2025/26. Extra flights have also been added to existing routes to Alicante, Edinburgh, Krakow, Lanzarote, Manchester and Wroclaw. The announcement is expected to boost Ryanair's annual passenger numbers through Shannon per annum by 20%, or 100,000, to over 1.6 million, while supporting 1,500 local jobs. The airline's Irish Growth Plan states its intention to boost its Shannon passenger numbers to three million and its number of aircraft to six by 2030.

Show Notes:Angela's Links:https://alpinist007.com/ (personal website)Angela Hawse takes helm of American Mountain Guides Association board as group leans on women to foster change in guiding cultureEpisode Intro:Dear listeners of the Female Guides Requested Podcast, happy Wednesday. This is your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas. Today our guest is Angela Hawse.Angela was the 6th woman in the U.S. to become an IFMGA mountain guide with a successful career spanning over three decades. She's trained and examined aspiring guides for the AMGA for the past 19 years and served as the AMGA president for five. Angela's led over 30 high altitude mountaineering expeditions to the world's Greater Ranges and guided remote trips to the Arctic and Antarctic. She skied from Sweden to Norway across Lapland, reached the South Summit of Mt. Everest (500' higher than K2) and has led numerous technical all-women's ascents.She's currently on the board of the IFMGA and the 1st woman and non-European to join the Technical Commission. Angela has a Master's Degree in International Mountain Conservation, is on the POW Alliance Team and a Black Diamond athlete. In 2011 she was awarded AMGA Guide of the Year and in 2022 received the AMGA Lifetime Achievement in Guiding Award.I love that she considers herself successful in mountain guiding because she still loves the profession and is still in it for the same reason that she got into it initially. She established a lifelong love of playing in the mountains since she was a kid. Her curiosity let her explore all facets of life related to guiding, and she hardly found boredom. We talked about dealing with burnout, giving back to the communities, her AMGA work, changes in the environment and the industry in the past 30+ years, and making a guide career sustainable. I'm super inspired by all the wisdom Angela brought in.

Vännerna Sven, Elin och Markus anlände dit efter en lång bilresa genom Lapplands vita landskap.En: Friends Sven, Elin, and Markus arrived there after a long car journey through Lapland's white landscape.Sv: Sven kände sig både förväntansfull och nervös.En: Sven felt both excited and nervous.Sv: Han ville se norrskenet, men den mörka och ödsliga miljön skrämde honom.En: He wanted to see the northern lights, but the dark and desolate environment scared him.Sv: Elin var alltid ivrig att fånga ögonblicken med sin kamera.En: Elin was always eager to capture the moments with her camera.Sv: Hon tyckte om att utforska och tänkte på de vackra bilder hon skulle ta.En: She loved exploring and thought about the beautiful pictures she would take.Sv: Markus, som var mer tystlåten, hoppades på något speciellt han kunde minnas.En: Markus, who was more quiet, hoped for something special he could remember.Sv: De tre vännerna gick runt på hotellet, studerade isskulpturer och beundrade de konstfulla rummen.En: The three friends walked around the hotel, studying ice sculptures and admiring the artful rooms.Sv: Även om inomhusvärmen blev välkomnande, kände Sven hela tiden ett kallt pirrande av ångest.En: Even though the warmth inside was welcoming, Sven constantly felt a cold tingle of anxiety.Sv: Han visste att om han ville se norrskenet, behövde han övervinna sin rädsla för mörkret.En: He knew that if he wanted to see the northern lights, he needed to overcome his fear of the dark.Sv: När natten kom, stod stjärnorna som små diamanter mot den djupsvarta himlen.En: When night came, the stars stood like tiny diamonds against the deep black sky.Sv: Sven tog ett djupt andetag.En: Sven took a deep breath.Sv: "Jag går ut en stund," sa han till Markus och Elin.En: "I'm going out for a while," he said to Markus and Elin.Sv: Markus nickade uppmuntrande.En: Markus nodded encouragingly.Sv: Elin log och sa, "Vi är här om du behöver oss."En: Elin smiled and said, "We're here if you need us."Sv: Sven steg ut i tystnaden, bort från de flämtande ljusen vid hotellet.En: Sven stepped out into the silence, away from the flickering lights of the hotel.Sv: Varje steg knackade på hans mod, men han gav inte upp.En: Each step tested his courage, but he didn't give up.Sv: Luften var krispig, och snön knarrade under hans fötter.En: The air was crisp, and the snow creaked under his feet.Sv: Ensamheten omslöt honom som en tjock mantel.En: The solitude enveloped him like a thick cloak.Sv: Han väntade och väntade.En: He waited and waited.Sv: Kylan började tränga igenom hans kläder.En: The cold began to penetrate his clothes.Sv: Han kände hjärtat dunka snabbare.En: He felt his heart beating faster.Sv: Om det inte blev något norrsken?En: What if there was no northern lights?Sv: Skulle hans rädsla få överhanden igen?En: Would his fear take over again?Sv: Men just som han tveksamt tänkte återvända, hände det.En: But just as he hesitated to return, it happened.Sv: Himlen exploderade i färger.En: The sky exploded in colors.Sv: Grönt, rosa och blått böljade över natthimlen i dansande slöjor.En: Green, pink, and blue waved across the night sky in dancing veils.Sv: Sven stod som fastfrusen av skönheten.En: Sven stood frozen by the beauty.Sv: Han visste i det ögonblicket att hans rädsla höll på att krympa och att det vackra ögonblicket tog över.En: He knew in that moment that his fear was shrinking and the beautiful moment was taking over.Sv: Ensamheten blev ett minne blott i ljuset av norrskenet.En: The loneliness became a distant memory in the light of the northern lights.Sv: Precis då dök Elin och Markus upp bredvid honom.En: Just then Elin and Markus appeared beside him.Sv: "Du gjorde det, Sven!"En: "You did it, Sven!"Sv: utropade Elin.En: exclaimed Elin.Sv: "Ja," svarade han, med en ny beslutsamhet.En: "Yes," he replied, with newfound determination.Sv: "Jag klarade det."En: "I did it."Sv: De tre vännerna stod där tillsammans, förundrade över himlens skådespel.En: The three friends stood there together, amazed by the spectacle of the sky.Sv: Sven insåg att ibland var det värt att möta sina rädslor för att finna den glädje som gömde sig bakom.En: Sven realized that sometimes it was worth facing your fears to find the joy hidden behind.Sv: Och i Lapplands kalla armar blev rädslan till styrka och gemenskap.En: And in Lapland's cold embrace, fear turned into strength and companionship.Sv: Det var en natt de alla skulle minnas, i isens och snöns rike, där norrskenet lyste upp inte bara himlen, utan även deras hjärtan.En: It was a night they would all remember, in the realm of ice and snow, where the northern lights lit up not only the sky but also their hearts.Sv: Slutet.En: The end.

Tourists are heading to Finnish Lapland in the hopes of seeing the famous Northern Lights. Driving through the darkness, photographer Joona Forsgren is on a hunt for the aurora borealis. Veering onto a darkened Finnish Lapland road, Forsgren guides a group of tourists to a frozen lakeside spot. Forsgren started taking tourists “Northern Lights hunting” about five years ago. Back then, he was just one of a few. The captivating show can be visible from late August until early April. These odds tempt thousands of tourists northwards every winter, to Rovaniemi, the capital of Finnish Lapland, which also boasts a Santa Claus village on the edge of the Arctic Circle. The city saw a record 1.2 million overnight visitors last year, an increase of almost 30 percent. Northern Lights tourism is a big business in Finnish Lapland. In 2016, one hotel hit the headlines after looking to hire a full-time “Northern Lights Spotter” for the winter season. According to NASA and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the sun is currently at the maximum phase of its eleven-year cycle, making solar surges and Northern Lights more frequent. Photographer Forsgren says he's never seen anything like it. “During my five-year career, I haven't experienced this big and this frequent Northern Lights,” he says. “It has been really good.” But for those who are perhaps a little impatient, or can't stand the cold, Rovaniemi resident Reijo Kortesalmi created “Aurora Alert,” a real-time alert system that triggers once auroras are spotted in the night sky. “I have my own cameras, and they send images to my server,” explains Kortesalmi, sitting at his computer. “My software analyzes (whether) there are auroras or not. And if there is auroras, customers get an alert to their mobile phone.” This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Als het enkele dagen vriest, komt er ijs op plassen, vijvers, grachten en meren. En als het lang genoeg koud blijft, wordt dat ijslaagje dikker en dikker totdat je erop kan schaatsen. Maar... dat water zal nooit tot op de bodem bevriezen. Zelfs niet als het maanden- of jarenlang vriest. Ook in Lapland kan je een gat in het ijs zagen en ijsvissen. Fysicus Joris Dirckx (UAntwerpen) legt uit waarom de vissen niet vastvriezen tijdens de winter.
