Yes, I agree. Far too dangerous to venture up to the Artic Circle 
  which I believe starts just south of Sendai.

I have finally realised I am not a photographer. I did a unit of 
photography at university, bought a Nikon FA (the last good 
camera) and accessories, read books, joined a club and shot 
thousands of dollars of film. I have some nice photos better than 
your average snapshot but nothing great. It's only with my 
digital camera and shooting hundreds of shots that I can quite 
good shots.
