Noorderlicht: The "Ship in Ice"
- pano anchor link: #Tempelfjord_09April13_122
The sailing boat Noorderlicht spent the arctic spring frozen into the ice of Tempelfjord. 1/2
The sailing ship Noorderlicht used to spend the late winter / spring in the fjord ice of Tempelfjord, serving as a destination for day trips and longer trips from Longyearbyen. You could get there by dog sledge or snow mobile, get a hot meal (only as part of a guided group, to reduce individual traffic) or even spend a night or longer.
In 2014, the fjord didn’t freeze early and solid enough to make the “ship in the ice” possible, and later the project was abandoned due to a combination of increasingly unreliable ice conditions and difficulties to obtain the necessary permits.
