Bill­efjord – 14th August 2017

Posted on 14. August 2017 by Rolf Stange

On the last day of such a long, inten­se trip, it is allo­wed to be a litt­le bit wist­ful. 18 days are still too short!

The­re was a choice in the morning, a tour through the sett­le­ment of Pyra­mi­den or a hike on the moun­tain Pyra­mi­den. Most went for the old Rus­si­an mining sett­le­ment.

Then it was time for our final lan­ding. We went to Skans­buk­ta, a clas­sic for good rea­sons. We enjoy­ed it.

The­re was some suc­cess­ful fishing befo­re we came back to Advent­fjord, so we had some fresh fish to enjoy for later. Then, we were soon along­side in the har­bour in Lon­gye­ar­by­en. Same place as 18 days ago, but still ever­ything is dif­fe­rent. It is a big dif­fe­rence if you have such a big voya­ge ahead of you or behind you.

We enjoy­ed a lot of beau­ti­ful, inten­se days tog­e­ther, most­ly with a lot of wea­ther luck, we had the wild­life, the who­le lot … thanks to all of you who were the­re, it was gre­at!

By the way, my new book is in print and it can now be orde­red 🙂 it is a pho­to book with the tit­le “Nor­we­gens ark­ti­scher Nor­den (1): Spitz­ber­gen – vom Polar­licht bis zur Mit­ter­nachts­son­ne”, with Ger­man text Click here for fur­ther details!
