Nordaustland – 12th August 2022
Fri
12 Aug
2022
After a bit of a grey day yesterday – we could watch a polar bear on a small island disappearing in the fog – it cleared up today. The weather was on our side again, and it was to remain so for several days. We were (and still are) clearly in the right area on the right time. Good stuff!
That is also the simple reason why there was just no time for blog writing. I need to catch up a bit now.
We spent that Friday (12th August) on the north side of Nordaustland, in Nordenskiöldbukta and in Rijpfjord. Stunningly beautiful scenery, barren, of a high arctic, strong character, not seen by many peoples’ eyes. There are indeed places where you can think that you might indeed be the first person there. Of course that is impossible to tell for sure, and quite likely at least some geologists have been there, they have been all over the place. But still, just the fact that the thought as such isn’t completely nonsense is amazing, in the year 2022.
I leave it up to the pictures to tell the rest of the story of this day.
