ZEITreise Spitsbergen 14-21 Juli 2008
on Bord with M/S Nordstjernen
ZEITreise Spitsbergen: This voyage was organized by the ZEIT, a major German weekly newspaper, and mainly dedicated to Earth history and geology. But of course, we enjoyed all aspects of Spitsbergen thoroughly during this week, during excursions near and from Longyearbyen and during a cruise on board M/S Nordstjernen.
