So, what do we do in Norway when the cold winter lays it's dark hand over the land (yeah, poetic...)
In the lack of any descent bridges and the ones we got probably will give you a nice chill in case of a water landing the best option is CableBoogie
We got a cable built for transport running 280m over a gorge, bring some rope and a steel carabin and just hook on. You will be running into the wally with sparks flying, until you end up close to 850 feet over a frozen river. Disconnect, and do your thing in free air within the following 8 seconds and repeat...
I added some pics to this post, and i'll put up a gallery when i have collected the different shots. Enjoy

P.S. The Total Lunar Eclipse was enjoyed from a clear starfilled sky, wonder what people thought about such a phenomenon a couple of thousand years ago...

Cool, looks like fun. But why dont you guys use pulleys, like for a tyrolean? That would be much better for the cable

edit: better for the cable = less damage to the cable

to easy, and sparks are way cooler

looks cold.

aren't you scared of polar bears?

do you need a dogsled and pack of dogs to get to this far away frozen land?

we have a rule here in california, if you can see your breath that means dont go outside.

have fun.
