In October, the team was complete. In addition to PhD scholars Miriam Sentler, Margrete Hestenes and Tomine Sandal, we could now also welcome research assistant Eva Jensine Pritchard. Eva is a MA student in Scandinavian Studies, working on a thesis on Tarjei Vesaas' novel The Ice Palace.

On this sunny autumn day, we visited the Natural History Museum at Tøyen to learn more about geology and how North Sea oil came to be.
