The Abisko Scientific Research Station is located in northern Sweden, above the Polar circle. The closest airport is in Kiruna and we advise all participants to travel to Kiruna from where there are regular trains to Abisko, Östra. You can find information on train times and prices on the Swedish Railways website: www.sj.se/en/home.html#/ Alternatively, you can take a bus from Kiruna airport to Absiko. You can find more info and timetables here:https://www.swedavia.com/kiruna/bus/#gref
From the Östra train station it is a 15-minute walk to the station - follow the railway through the village, pass through the tunnel that goes underneath the main road, and continue on to the station (you should see the station well before you cross under the road).
The Polar Prediction School 2018 will start on the evening of 17 April, so please make sure to plan arrival accordingly. The official programme will end on the evening of 26 April, but accommodation is booked for check-out on 27 April and breakfast will be served that morning. We advise leaving on April 27th.
