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!
