With SV Meander around Spitsbergen, 1st - 18th July 2024

Part 3: Nordaustland and Hinlopen Strait

Phippsøya, Sjuøyane

Phippsøya, Sjuøya­ne: fur­thest north in Sval­bard.

It remain­ed win­dy on the north side of Nord­aus­t­land, but we got a beau­tiful landing on Phippsøya, the lar­gest island within Sjuøya­ne, fur­thest north in Sval­bard. Here we were in the right place at the right time, no doubt!

The drift ice had dis­ap­peared in the fog, so we went back into Hin­lo­pen Strait whe­re we had some magni­fi­cent days, inclu­ding polar bears in Wahl­enberg­fjord, count­less Brünich’s guil­l­emots at Alkef­jel­let, the high arc­tic island of Von Otterøya and the migh­ty Brås­vell­breen.

Polar bears, Wahlenbergfjord
