„Bell­sund“ – just one word. This time, it stands for almost 3 unfor­gettable days. From Fin wha­les under the mid­night sun (just about to touch the hori­zon again) to a ran­ge of beau­tiful walks and hikes, visits to various islands and wild­life sightin­gs.

Today it was time to lea­ve this beau­tiful area. We are now back in Isfjord and thus almost back in civi­li­sa­ti­on (and back to grey and wet wea­ther, but this is of cour­se coin­ci­dence, it could have been the other way around). Tonight we will be back in Lon­gye­ar­by­en. Fin wha­les and white-bea­k­ed dol­phins joi­n­ed us for an while on the last cou­ple of miles, as if to make our good­bye swee­ter.

So, this is the end of a tru­ly unfor­gettable voya­ge, as rich of all kinds of Spits­ber­gen expe­ri­en­ces and impres­si­ons as you can just ima­gi­ne, or pos­si­bly even well bey­ond that. In the best of spi­rits, for which I tru­ly thank all tho­se invol­ved, first of all Hein­rich Eggen­fell­ner, skip­per and owner of Arc­ti­ca II!
