As men­tio­ned befo­re, Isfjor­den has more than enough place for a week or ten days. Today we were in Sas­senfjord (a part of Isfjord, obvious­ly). The wea­ther remain­ed grey, but that didn’t kept us from get­ting out. We went for a love­ly hike in the beau­tiful, lar­ge Gips­da­len, whe­re Wil­liam S. Bruce loo­ked for coal in his days a long time ago, and later we paid a visit to the Brünich’s guil­l­emots at Dia­ba­sod­den.

A slight­ly grey day in nor­t­hern Bil­lefjord, in the beau­tiful Ebba­d­a­len and in Pyra­mi­den. Fasci­na­ting places, beau­tiful sce­n­ery, fri­end­ly reinde­er.

So Anti­gua is set­ting sail again in Spits­ber­gen in July – our first long trip (18 days!) with good old Anti­gua in 3 years (becau­se of Covid). Ama­zing …

But, alas, not ever­y­bo­dy could make it to Lon­gye­ar­by­en, becau­se of the SAS pilot strike. We still main­tain hope to pick some more peo­p­le up in a cou­ple of days time, but for now, we sail with 10 pas­sen­gers ins­tead of a good 30 …

But in any case, we sai­led! And we set cour­se for Skans­buk­ta, to start with. We will stay in Isfjor­den for a cou­ple of days, making sure that we can pick peo­p­le up at any time. No pro­blem at all, Isfjor­den is more than big enough to spend a week or even more.
