Kongsfjord & For­lands­und – 04-05 June 2022

The attempt to sail down from the nor­thwest cor­ner to Kongsfjord was not exact­ly suc­cessful, due to a lack of wind. It wasn’t real­ly action sai­ling 🙂

But we still had some time to have a look on Blom­strand­hal­vøya inclu­ding two of the caves befo­re we went along­side in Ny-Åle­sund, whe­re we had a good look around the fol­lo­wing day.

In the after­noon, a desi­re to see wal­ru­ses came up, but we could cater for that in For­lands­und.

Nor­thwest Spits­ber­gen – 03rd June 2022

We are back to the nor­thwest cor­ner of Spits­ber­gen. And the wea­ther is inde­ed still on our side. It is most­ly calm and sun­ny, just occa­sio­nal­ly a very light bree­ze and some clouds, which is a good thing.

We visi­ted litt­le auks and the migh­ty gla­cier in Fuglefjord, a place of stun­ning beau­ty. The­re was so much ice drif­ting in the fjord that the­re was no chan­ce of get­ting near the gla­cier. The beau­tiful impres­si­ons keep coming with high fre­quen­cy. So it was a good thing just to anchor in the late after­noon, let things calm down, and mar­vel at the beau­ty of the land­scape sur­roun­ding us.

Ice – Bis­ka­yar­hu­ken – 02nd June, 2022

The point of a trip so ear­ly in the arc­tic sum­mer – one of the points, at least – is of cour­se the idea that the sea ice is likely to be still some­whe­re near the coast. Of cour­se you need the wea­ther for it.

We had both. Ice and wea­ther. It could not have been more beau­tiful!

And we even had time for a litt­le landing at Bis­ka­yar­hu­ken later in the after­noon.

Nor­thwest-Spits­ber­gen – 01st June 2022

Time ist just fly­ing. The days are full of expe­ri­ence and beau­ty. The month star­ted with no less than four polar bears in the bay whe­re we had inten­ded to go ashore. Well, chan­ge of plans! Ins­tead of our pro­jec­ted snow­shoe hike, we went crui­sing at the gla­cier Smee­ren­burg­breen.

In Kob­befjord we had a look at the old arc­tic post­box. Someone had appar­ent­ly emp­tied it sin­ce we had left post­cards the­re three years ago. I won­der if they have actual­ly arri­ved.
