Playing chess near the North Pole!

As part of the Norwegian Grand Prix, chess is also played far up north, where Europe ends and the arctic region begins. Holger Blauhut travelled with his daughter to Alta for the Power Solutions Arctic Chess NGP tournament. Despite a snowstorm, they got to play a well-organised tournament and learned more about the region's sled dog racing. | Photos: Anna Blauhut, Holger Blauhut und Torill M. Wiggen
