Lon­gyear­breen – 29th Sep­tem­ber 2017

We pay ano­t­her litt­le visit to Lon­gyear­breen. How gre­at is it to have this kind of play­ground so clo­se to town? Meltwa­ter is rus­hing down the chan­nels, it is well worth to look for fos­sils in the morai­ne, and then the­re is ice, ice, ice. Also on the gla­cier, the­re are meltwa­ter streams in deeply incis­ed chan­nels, which some­ti­mes disap­pe­ar down into black holes. The polis­hed sur­face of the ice shows beau­ti­ful­ly alter­na­ting pat­terns of clear, blue ice and dark lay­ers with stones and (natu­ral) dirt.

A lovely way to finish the time that we can still, at least in a wider sen­se, call the arc­tic sum­mer. Now, this arc­tic tra­vel­ler will return to the office. Also the­re, moun­tain ran­ges have piled up on the rather recent geo­lo­gi­cal histo­ry 🙂
