Spits­ber­gen blog 2020: Sas­sen­fjord

The Arc­tic sea­son 2020, at least as we know it, went com­ple­te­ly to the bin. But I don’t want to moan about that now, I rather appre­cia­te that the sum­mer nevertheless gave us qui­te a bit of arc­tic beau­ty. Just in a dif­fe­rent way. The boat was a bit smal­ler than what we usual­ly use, so we went to a cou­p­le of beau­ti­ful pla­ces in Isfjord, rather than ven­tu­ring to Nord­aus­t­land or Edgeøya.

Over a while, I will share a cou­p­le of pho­tos of our recent excur­si­ons in Spits­ber­gen. A bit dif­fe­rent from what we usual­ly have, in “nor­mal” years … we start with a Zodiac trip to Sas­sen­fjord. Beau­ti­ful land­s­cape, arc­tic silence, friend­ly rein­de­er, lovely flowers – inclu­ding some of the more rare ones such as Mer­ten­sia mari­ti­ma and the Nort­hern Jacobslad­der – and fos­sils (shells and ammo­ni­tes from the Juras­sic. Fla­vou­red with fine wea­ther and ple­nty of time. Life in the Arc­tic 🙂
