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

Part 4: Freemansund and Storfjord

Arctic fox, Barentsøya

Arc­tic fox on Barent­søya.

We con­tin­ued towards Barent­søya and Edgeøya. In the rather cha­rac­te­ristic land­scape of the­se lar­ge islands, we found a kit­ti­wa­ke colo­ny, a very fri­end­ly arc­tic fox and seve­ral polar bears. Obvious­ly, we had to navi­ga­te around the lat­ter with regards to our landings.

Edgeøya

A wide val­ley on Edgeøya.

Then we crossed Storfjord. We had wind from one side and swell from the other, but all within reason (which does not mean that it was com­for­ta­ble at all times for ever­y­bo­dy – wel­co­me on a small ship!). But we even found a group of hump­back wha­les in sou­thern Storfjord and mana­ged to do some walks in Isbuk­ta. The ride back to the ship was pret­ty win­dy and thus a rather wet affair, though ❄️🌬️😃
