Advanced Spitsbergen 2018 with SY Arctica II

We spent 2 full days in Woodfjord and Lief­defjord, in well-shel­te­red waters while it the open sea was defi­ni­te­ly not a place to be con­si­de­ring the rather foul wea­ther. It was pret­ty grey and wet also in the fjords, but we made the best out of it, going out and on tour every day as much as pos­si­ble. We made some good hikes near Texas Bar and around Mus­ham­na. We also remo­ved qui­te a bit of plastic from the beaches and we saved a seal that was ent­an­gled in a fishing net. Ano­t­her seal, an adult Bear­ded seal, was later lying on the beach as if to say good­bye to us as we left – a Bear­ded seal lying on the beach! Have you ever seen or heard of that? Very rare obser­va­ti­on!
