Begin­ning of arc­tic ship­ping sea­son 2012

Posted on 11. June 2012 by Rolf Stange

The mid­ni­ght sun is shi­ning over Spitsbergen’s fjords sin­ce late April and most of the birds have star­ted their bree­ding busi­ness by now. Most tou­rist ships that sail Spitsbergen’s coas­tal waters, from lar­ge crui­se ships to small sai­ling boats, are now on their way up north, some are alrea­dy the­re.

The owner of this web­site is also soon on his way north and will be the­re (Spits­ber­gen and west Green­land) until late Sep­tem­ber. The news sec­tion will accord­in­gly be updated less fre­quent­ly than during recent mon­ths, but the­re will be updates and news of impor­t­ance will, if necessa­ry, be pos­ted with a litt­le delay – but they will appe­ar here.

The tra­vel blog site (triplogs, pho­to gal­le­ries) of trips of the 2012 sea­son will soon be updated regu­lar­ly until late September/early Octo­ber. So – plea­se visit again!

Spits­ber­gen under the mid­ni­ght sun: the sai­ling sea­son in the high norht has star­ted.
