We've posted a story on DigNittanyVolleyball about Penn State's Really Northern Lights Booster Club in Alta Norway.
Here's an excerpt:
Here's an excerpt:
This is a story about the Alta, Norway Penn State Women’s Volleyball Booster Club — which we are pretty sure is the northernmost booster club in the world for any NCAA Division 1 women’s volleyball team — and how we got to meet its founder, Mats Hoel Johannessen.
Mats is a graduate student and outdoor guide/explorer, who in 2013 led a party of three Norwegians in a south-to-north ski crossing of Spitsbergen/Svalbard, an island that is decidedly north of the Arctic Circle.
Mrs. Nyline and I had planned our trip to Alta with two goals in mind: seeing the Northern Lights, and going on a dogsled trip. Mats, who works part-time for Glod Explorer, was our guide for the Northern Lights search.
