In September 2013, we want to explore the east coast of Greenland: Scoresbysund, the world’s largest fjord system – on a sailing ship, following good tradition. And we want to visit Ammassalik, the larger one of the two settlements on Greenland’s east coast, to spend some days exploring the stunning surroundings.
Please notice: as I am mainly active on the German market regarding polar journeys, voyages that I organize will usually be German speaking. Please refer to the detailed description of the East Greenland 2013 voyage (German) for further information.
The future will also see further plans evolve. West Greenland is certainly on the wishlist, and so is the Russian Arctic, although this area is not easy to travel. But one day… If you are interested, I can notify you as soon as there are news – please send me a short email if you want to get on the mailing list: click here for contact.
Huts are places of longing, dreams and adventure in Spitsbergen’s beautiful landscape. Even if the modern visitor’s eye may mostly be directed towards nature, most will have an open ear every now and then for exciting survival stories about explorers and expeditions, adventurers and trappers.
These huts are silent witnesses and and every one of them tells a little part of the whole story. The little book “Svalbardhytter” and the poster that is part of the same project make these fascinating places accessible for everyone.
From remote ruins, just traces in a few cases, to “famous” trapper huts such as Fredheim in Tempelfjord and Bjørneborg on Halvmåneøya, the war weather station Haudegen, the former scientific base Würzburger Hütte on Barentsøya and Hammerfesthuset, Svalbard’s oldest building.
