With SV Meander around Spitsbergen, 26 August – 08 September 2024
With Meander around Spitsbergen! We had 13 days to sail around the islands, including two in the beginning and at the end that we spent in Isfjord because of rough weather elsewhere. Which was a good thing, it gave us a taste of how things will be next year, with new rules, when we will spend more time in places like Isfjord anyway. Not a bad thing at all! Then we went north, step by step, into Kongsfjord, to the northwest corner, into Raudfjord, Liefdefjord, Woodfjord, Hinlopen Strait … all around the island, including classics and rarities, thinking of places.

The wildlife seemed to be a bit more spread out compared to August – it is of course not the case that polar bears migrate far away to warmer regions at the end of the summer 🙂 obviously they don’t. They just didn’t show up as abundantly as in August. But we did see them, and we saw walruses, bearded seals and whales.
