Kongsfjord – 29th June 2019

Ano­ther beau­tiful day – some­thing you should not take for gran­ted here in Spits­ber­gen the­se days, con­side­ring the wea­ther fore­cast. The­re are some strong low pres­su­res around in the north Atlan­tic. But Kongsfjord was the right place at the right time. We spent the mor­ning sit­ting high up at a bird cliff, enjoy­ing stun­ning views and a lively con­cert of Brünich’s guil­l­emots and kit­ti­wa­kes.

Gal­lery – Kongsfjord – 29th June 2019

Also Ny-Åle­sund was quite lively, espe­ci­al­ly in and around Kongsfjord­bu­tik­ken, with a lar­ge group of tou­rists from eas­tern Asia. Very lively. A slight­ly dif­fe­rent kind of arc­tic tou­rism. It seems to be in their natu­re to be … effi­ci­ent. In other words: soon it was calm again, so we could turn our atten­ti­on to the air­ship mast and the histo­ry of the north pole expe­di­ti­ons.
