With SV Meander around Spitsbergen, 26 August - 08 September 2024

Part 3: from Liefdefjord to Nordaustland and southeast Svalbard

We con­tin­ued along Spitsbergen’s north coast and went to Andøya­ne in Lief­defjord. In Wood­fjord, we found 3 polar bears near the shore. Their posi­ti­on was not the best pos­si­ble con­side­ring distance and per­spec­ti­ve, but the expe­ri­ence of see­ing them in the wild is always ama­zing.

A night of sai­ling took us far down in Hin­lo­pen Strait and all the way into Pal­an­der­buk­ta on Nord­aus­t­land. The­re we found the high arc­tic polar desert and wide ice caps which both are so cha­rac­te­ristic for nor­the­ast Sval­bard. Hump­back wha­les and beard­ed seals added to our delight.

After an evening walk on Von Otterøya in beau­tiful evening light, we sai­led to a very spe­cial place the next day, name­ly the see­mingly end­less gla­cier front of Ston­ebreen on Edgeøya. A litt­le, slight­ly fog­gy evening landing at the famous old trap­per hut Bjør­ne­borg on Halv­må­neøya roun­ded this leg of the jour­ney off.
