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.
