Sør­kapp Land – 30th June 2017

Posted on 30. June 2017 by Rolf Stange

Spitsbergen’s south cape is always good for trou­ble. Even nicer to round it in calm con­di­ti­ons, against expec­ta­ti­ons. And to find the sea so calm next morning that it brings the rare oppor­tu­ni­ty to land at the south cape! A few miles east of the actu­al sou­thern­most point, Anti­gua is able to get clo­se enough to go ashore. It is still more than far enough from the shore. But a gre­at land­s­cape, high arc­tic tun­dra, with a rug­ged moun­tain in the back­ground. A rocky shore­li­ne with inte­res­ting struc­tures, old whalebo­nes … ever­ything. And it is a rare­ly seen land­s­cape. How often is someo­ne get­ting here?

The wea­ther gets even more beau­ti­ful in the after­noon. We are bles­sed to see Isbuk­ta in its full sce­nic sple­ndor, under a bright sun and a blue sky. Unf­or­gett­ab­ly beau­ti­ful!
