Spitsbergen 06/27-2017/07/14

A long, stun­ning jour­ney around Spits­ber­gen. Geo­gra­phi­cal­ly, it was not a full cir­cle around the island becau­se of the ice con­di­ti­ons …

… but in the end, we sai­led almost 1 ½ times around Spits­ber­gen, and it tur­ned out to be a very inten­si­ve and com­pre­hen­si­ve trip, with a lot of lan­dings, wild­life obser­va­tions, sai­ling pas­sa­ges and so on – you name it, we have done it. You can’t get more Spits­ber­gen wit­hin 2 ½ weeks! We fol­lo­wed the wind, the ice and the ani­mals and once again, that tur­ned out to be the best thing to do. It took us to tra­di­tio­nal lan­ding sites and hid­den pla­ces, so we dis­co­ve­r­ed many of Spitsbergen’s secrets, one by one.
