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.
