St. Jonsfjord – 10th August 2021

Forlandsund turned out to be foggy and a bit windy today, so we decided to have a look at St. Jonsfjord. Talk about right place and right time! Full sunshine on the beautiful glacier scenery in the inner part of the fjord. Many bergy bits on the water from the 2 pretty active glaciers in the area. One of them is currently advancing; the position that we had reached in 2019 is covered by the glacier now. The other, neighbouring one is, however, retreating, as most of Spitsbergen’s glaciers these days.
We marvelled at this stunning scenery from all perspectives we could think of: from a perfectly placed mountain ridge, from sea level and from a little island that has only very recently emerged from the glacier. Bet not too many people had been there before us!
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 (3): Die Bäreninsel und Jan Mayen”, with German text Click here for further details!
