Gallery 3: Nordaustland to Hamiltonbukta

A tiny little island close to Nordaustland. And some whale bones.

The weather remained stable and enabled us to get to the remote areas in the far north. There, we had a bit of a surprise: the polar bears who had crowded the tiny little island(s) of Jyplingane just 4 weeks ago, feasting on a whale carcass, had all left! Admittedly, that was a bit hard to digest (especially for me, because I had been there in August). Nevertheless, we had a beautiful day both in that area and later with the walruses on Phippsøya. North Cape on Chermsideøya turned out to be friendly and sunny. And then it was time to take off and get back to the west coast, as we had some weather moving in. But not without spending another day on the north coast, in Raudfjord.
