Musician Ellery Daines is calling home this week from the northernmost city in the world, Tromsø in Norway, known as the gateway to the arctic.  LatItude 69 degrees north; 69 degrees south brushes Antarctica. It's a city on the Norwegian Sea built on three land masses.

Ellery left Auckland to follow his girlfriend Louise there in 2018, they're married now. He was working for an electricity company here in New Zealand, playing with a little band on the side, but he's found that in Norway he can make a living as a producer and engineer, and he's even released an album.
