The new site of the week at spitsbergen-svalbard.com is a recently created site about the White-beaked dolphin. Dolphins are not exactly what you intuitively expect in the arctic, so it is quite surprising to learn of many there actually are. But not on the coastal waters and fjords of Spitsbergen, rather in the open Barents Sea. In recent years, I have regularly done the crossing from Norway to Bear Island and Spitsbergen in the beginning of the arctic shipping boat season. The abundance of whales and dolphins in the Barents Sea has always amazed me. White-beaked dolphins are the northernmost representatives of the dolphin family.
