Kross­fjord – 21st Sep­tem­ber 2015

The long trip from Wood­fjord to Kross­fjord went quicker and smoot­her than expec­ted, we were men­tal­ly pre­pared for some wind and sea, which did not hap­pen, but who would mind? Alt­hough, the wea­ther did chan­ge. The clouds were low abo­ve Lil­lie­höök­breen, with some fresh snow on the sur­roun­ding moun­ta­ins. A com­ple­te­ly dif­fe­rent atmo­sphe­re.

The­re was also fresh snow on the car­pet of lichens and mos­ses in Sig­ne­ham­na. A reinde­er skull with big ant­lers was lying on the tun­dra, the for­mer owner pro­ba­b­ly now spread over a wide area. The remains of the war wea­ther sta­ti­ons Knos­pe and Nuss­baum almost in twi­light under fog-like clouds and light snow­fall, which is quite appro­pria­te, con­side­ring this dark chap­ter of the regio­nal histo­ry, and quite aes­the­ti­cal at the same time.

Also the many ber­gy bits in Fjor­ten­de Juli­buk­ta have their aes­the­ti­cal value. We are curious what tomor­row will bring. Accor­ding to the wea­ther fore­cast, it might be a cosy day on the ship.
