Guidebook: Spitsbergen-Svalbard |  |
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.
