Spitsbergen with SV Antigua, 10-23 September 2024

Part 3: Nordaustland and Moffen

We crossed the 80th par­al­lel as we sai­led towards Hin­lo­pen Strait and Nord­aus­t­land (we were to cross it yet quite a few times the next cou­ple of days).

Glacier at Idunneset, Wahlenbergfjord

View towards the gla­cier at Idun­nes­et in Wahl­enberg­fjord.

A love­ly hike at Idun­nes­et in Wahl­enberg­fjord brought, among­st others, stun­ning views of the sur­roun­ding gla­ciers and ice caps. At Zei­pe­lod­den in Pal­an­der­buk­ta, the wind beca­me a bit unp­lea­sant and we retur­ned to the ship ear­ly enough to make sure it wouldn’t get poten­ti­al­ly dif­fi­cult. Next day, Hin­lo­pen Strait was most­ly hid­den in den­se fog, it was just about good enough for a while to visit some wal­ru­ses on Wahl­ber­gøya. Next day it was bet­ter fur­ther north again in Murch­ison­fjord.

The final high­light of this chap­ter of our jour­ney was a landing on Mof­fen. Not quite wit­hout fog, but this Mof­fen is just a very spe­cial and fasci­na­ting island!
