Bil­lefjord: Hør­bye­breen

Hør­bye­breen nor­thwest of Petu­ni­abuk­ta. The moun­ta­ins the­re are among­st the most beau­tiful ones in Spits­ber­gen, inclu­ding the giant stone spi­der Taran­tel­len.

Geo­lo­gi­cal­ly, the area is also very inte­res­t­ing: the Bil­lefjor­den Fault Zone, an important set of now inac­ti­ve geo­lo­gi­cal „cracks“, is well visi­ble the­re. In the win­ter sea­son, Hør­bye­breen is part of the over­land rou­te to Dick­son­fjord and Ny-Åle­sund or Wood­fjord, in sum­mer it is a pos­si­ble trek­king rou­te to Ålands­vat­net and Aus­t­fjord.

Upper Hør­bye­breen.
