Gallery 2: the north coast

We spent a full day in the beau­ti­ful sur­roun­dings of Raudfjord, with ple­nty of impres­si­ve gla­ciers and moun­tains, which we enjoy­ed from the boat and during a fine moun­tain walk.

We arri­ved late the same night in Mus­ham­na in Woodfjord, one of Spitsbergen’s finest ancho­ra­ges and a gre­at pla­ces for various walks and hikes. Later, after ano­t­her walk fur­ther south in Woodfjord, we saw our first polar bear near Mus­ham­na on our way north.

Next day, we said good­bye to this area during a walk on one of the­se lovely islands in Lief­defjord and con­ti­nued with a nor­the­as­ter­ly cour­se, cros­sing 80 degrees and roun­ding Ver­le­gen­hu­ken. Under sail, in good style. Tes­ting how much of a sailor ever­y­bo­dy was. Well, ever­y­bo­dy was up and about again a few hours later, at Eolus­ne­set in Sorgfjord.
