Engelskbuk­ta, Ny-Åle­sund – 11th August 2021

Today’s wea­ther is a bit grey. We star­ted the day with a tun­dra walk in Engelskbuk­ta.
 
Flowers, some gra­ves and a blub­ber oven from the days of the ear­ly wha­lers.

Later, we visit Ny-Åle­sund, Spitsbergen’s nor­t­hern­most sett­le­ment with ever­y­thing that beongs to it: old sto­ries and modern sci­ence, Kongsfjord­bu­tik­ken and coal ming, polar histo­ry and a gui­ded city walk.

Kongsfjord is grey and will remain so the next cou­ple of days, so we lea­ve and head north befo­re we get the nor­t­her­ly wind that the fore­cast indi­ca­tes.
