Spitsbergen with SV Meander, 26th of May to 3rd of June 2025

Part 1: to the west coast and to the ice

Meander, Hamiltonbukta

SV Mean­der in Hamil­ton­buk­ta, Raud­fjord.

We made some miles to the north quick­ly becau­se the drift ice gave the impres­si­on that it was moving away from Spits­ber­gen at racing speed. But it didn’t, and so we rea­ched the edge of the ice quite ear­ly on this jour­ney pole­wards from 80 degrees north. A won­derful expe­ri­ence! Less mar­vell­ous, of cour­se, is the fact that the drift ice was alre­a­dy abo­ve 80 degrees so ear­ly in the year, at the end of May. At this time of year, it should nor­mal­ly still include at least the islands of Ams­ter­damøya and Dan­s­køya, but what is ‘nor­mal’ in times of cli­ma­te chan­ge?

We then had time to explo­re the north-west of Spits­ber­gen and later For­lands­und.
