Bear Island (28 June - 06 July 2010)

Ever­y­bo­dy is tra­vel­ling to small islands some­whe­re south during his holi­days. So did I 😄 for a week, I went to Bear Island (Bjørnøya), situa­ted half-way bet­ween the north cape of Nor­way and the south cape of Spits­ber­gen. May­be not exact­ly what most peo­p­le would con­sider “the south”, but a gre­at and high­ly inte­res­t­ing place, if you ask me.

I went forth and back over most of the island, fol­lo­wing the coast­li­ne from the wea­ther sta­ti­on in the north to the spec­ta­cu­lar cliffs and sea­bird colo­nies in the south.
