Gallery 2: Nordaustland

The wea­ther fore­cast loo­ked fine, so we set cour­se for some more remo­te cor­ners and reached Murchi­son­fjord on Nord­aus­t­land after a night under sail. We spent two full days in nort­hern Hin­lo­pen Strait, most­ly in Murchi­son­fjord whe­re we went hiking, explo­red the old rese­arch sta­ti­on in Kinn­vi­ka and its sce­nic sur­roun­dings and a small island whe­re we found one of only two ori­gi­nal cros­ses from the Pomor peri­od which are still stan­ding.

As we star­ted to sail west again, we made a stop in Sorgfjord whe­re the wea­ther was so good that some were temp­ted to a polar plun­ge – a pret­ty refres­hing expe­ri­ence!
