Harefjord („Hare Bay“) is the innermost branch of Scoresbysund, furthest to the west and nearest to the Inland Ice – together with Vestfjord a bit further south, but this one is usually so packed with glacier ice that it is not navigable. Harefjord is usually open and passage is easy. There are two glaciers with calving ice cliffs at its head. They certainly are not Greenland’s largest or most active glaciers, but both of them are beauties, coming down from the nearby inland ice, which is towering just behind and above them.
The slopes around inner Harefjord are mostly pretty steep, but not too steep for the occasional patch of tundra every here and there, giving muskoxen and the namegiving Snowy hare space to live and to roam around. And as almost always in Greenland, you can only regret silently that time is usually more or less limited, because it would be easy to spend some days with fantastic hikes in Harefjord, on the boundary between Scoresbysund as one of the world’s largest fjord systems and the very inland ice of Greenland.
The companion book for the Svalbardhytter poster. The poster visualises the diversity of Spitsbergen‘s huts and their stories in a range of Arctic landscapes. The book tells the stories of the huts in three languages.
Comprehensive guidebook about Spitsbergen. Background (wildlife, plants, geology, history etc.), practical information including travelling seasons, how to travel, description of settlements, routes and regions.
Lofoten, Jan Mayen and Spitsbergen from the air - Photobook: Norway's arctic islands. The text in this book is German, but there is very little text, so I am sure that you will enjoy it regardless which languages you read (or not).
Join an exciting journey with dog, skis and tent through the wintery wastes of East Greenland! We were five guys and a dog when we started in Ittoqqortoormiit, the northernmost one of two settlements on Greenland’s east coast.
12 postcards which come in a beautifully designed tray. Beautiful images from South Georgia across Antarctica from the Antarctic Peninsula to the Ross Sea and up to Macquarie Island and Campbell Island.
Spitsbergen – Antarctic double calendar. The back side of the sheets, which used to be blank until 2019, are now fully used so you actually get two calendars for the price of one – twelve stunning Spitsbergen images on one side and twelve equally stunning Antarctic images on the other side!
Huts are places of longing, dreams and adventure in Spitsbergen’s beautiful landscape. Even if the modern visitor’s eye may mostly be directed towards nature, most will have an open ear every now and then for exciting survival stories about explorers and expeditions, adventurers and trappers.
These huts are silent witnesses and and every one of them tells a little part of the whole story. The little book “Svalbardhytter” and the poster that is part of the same project make these fascinating places accessible for everyone.
From remote ruins, just traces in a few cases, to “famous” trapper huts such as Fredheim in Tempelfjord and Bjørneborg on Halvmåneøya, the war weather station Haudegen, the former scientific base Würzburger Hütte on Barentsøya and Hammerfesthuset, Svalbard’s oldest building.
