The Rus­si­an beau­ty of Barents­burg was very evi­dent right next to our ship sin­ce last evening, and a visit the­re is always inte­res­t­ing, even though not ever­y­bo­dy falls instant­ly in love with the visu­al good qua­li­ties of the place. Even in suns­hi­ne! And we do not miss the oppor­tu­ni­ty to talk, next to the local histo­ry, about the Spits­ber­gen Trea­ty, hot and cold war, poli­tics and peo­p­le and wha­te­ver else.

In Ymer­buk­ta, the land is still com­ple­te­ly snow cover­ed. It is sun­ny and warm, but the visu­al impres­si­on is that of win­ter, white and pure. Same in Bore­buk­ta and Yol­dia­buk­ta. Whe­re­ver you look, it is beau­tiful.

Equal­ly beau­tiful is din­ner in the evening. Thanks a lot, Sascha, Jana, Chris­ti­na and Alex!
