This was the 18 day long peak-season voyage around Spitsbergen. An amazing package full of nature experience, hiking, sailing. This was SV Meander’s second circumnavigation of Spitsbergen (we did the first one last year in late August/early September) and her longest trip in these waters so far.
Just as our voyage with SV Antigua a couple of weeks ago, we were blessed with the weather. We did amazing landings and good hikes, saw a lot of wildlife and flowers … the whole package, it was all there.
We went around Spitsbergen in a clockwise direction. The following pages will give you a good impression of what we saw and did during these fantastic days. And so will the triplog. If you read German, that is.
Triplog: Spitsbergen with SV Meander, 01st-18th July 2023
There are two different versions, differing in file size/print quality. The content is exactly the same. And anyway, it is in German, because it was a German speaking trip.
You can actually visit some of the places that we have been to on this trip online. There are pages with photo galleries and 360 degree panorama photos on this website:
Trygghamna: the mountain Knuvlen. We didn’t go ashore there due to the wind, but we spend a whole night in this beautiful bay.
The southern west coast in Sørkapp Land. This place is just south of the place we went to on this trip, but the landscape is essentially the same.
