An ama­zing day, and ever­y­thing work­ed out as plan­ned, just for a chan­ge! You couldn’t have ima­gi­ned some­thing more beau­tiful. The bright autumn colours of the tun­dra in Rosen­berg­da­len. A huge pile of wal­ru­ses at Kapp Lee (Dole­ritt­ne­set, to be more pre­cise). Water like a mir­ror in Free­man­sund, with count­less reinde­er on the sur­roun­ding islands. Thou­sands of kit­ty­wa­kes and a polar fox on Barent­søya. Zeiløya­ne are a… Con­ti­nue rea­ding

Reind­a­len 1  Copy URL  pano anchor link: #Reindalen_13April14_271_HDR Reind­a­len ist Spitsbergen’s lar­gest ice-free val­ley. A lar­ge part of the regio­nal reinde­er popu­la­ti­on is fee­ding on hundreds of squa­re kilo­me­t­res of tun­dra in just this val­ley. Reind­a­len 2  Copy URL  pano anchor link: #Reindalen_13April14_116_HDR The dimen­si­ons of the land­scape are see­mingly end­less.

Again, the snow-cover­ed arc­tic land­scape was glit­te­ring in the sun around us as we awo­ke to ano­ther day in Isfjord. Stun­ning beau­ty ever­y­whe­re around us. Ymer­buk­ta. Reinde­er are roa­ming in lar­ge num­bers over the snow-cover­ed tun­dra. They are loo­king for­ward for the snow to dis­ap­pear soon. Reinde­er at Erd­man­nod­den. In the after­noon, a strong visu­al con­trast and a bit of regio­nal histo­ry fol­lo­wed in shape of the a… Con­ti­nue rea­ding

The days are quick­ly get­ting lon­ger after the return of the sun. This is inde­ed an ama­zin­gly quick pro­cess. Just 2-3 days after the very first sun­ri­se of the year, the sun is alre­a­dy for seve­ral hours abo­ve the hori­zon. The fact that we have a clear sky again after more than a week of clouds does, wit­hout a doubt, also con­tri­bu­te to the sub­jec­ti­ve part of this impres­si­on. Time to get out and see a bit more of the sur­round… Con­ti­nue rea­ding

The Arc­tic! Spits­ber­gen! Natu­re! Being out the­re! Fan­ta­stic … That the sum­ma­ry 🙂 and that is what it is all about here the­se days, in and around Lon­gye­ar­by­en. I have spent alre­a­dy far too much time on the com­pu­ter this year, that has to wait now. Other­wi­se I could alre­a­dy have writ­ten a lot here on my arc­tic tra­vel blog. But today is a day of rest, time to catch up a bit. The pre­sen­ta­ti­on series “Arc­tic Wed­nes­day”… Con­ti­nue rea­ding

The Spits­ber­gen-reinde­er, also known as Sval­bard-reinde­er, has seen a lot of ups and downs sin­ce it came to Spits­ber­gen from the Rus­si­an Arc­tic thou­sands of years ago. It beca­me a sub-spe­ci­es on its own which is not found any­whe­re out­side Sval­bard. Nevert­hel­ess, it was hun­ted almost to extinc­tion until it was final­ly pro­tec­ted by the Nor­we­gi­an govern­ment in 1925 – soon after the Spits­ber­gen Trea­ty had given Nor­wa… Con­ti­nue rea­ding

It is a gre­at start into the day, waking up with the noi­se of a thun­de­ring gla­cier. We are ancho­red near Blom­strand­breen. Blom­strand­hal­vøya is the the­me of the day. The choice is eit­her a walk clo­ser to sea level or a crossing of the island inclu­ding the hig­hest „peaks“ rea­ching 385 met­res abo­ve sea level. Not Mount Ever­est, but abso­lut­e­ly enough for some stun­ning views of Kongsfjord. Back to the ship along the old mining… Con­ti­nue rea­ding

Here in Tjuv­fjord we can enjoy the rare fee­ling to explo­re new waters and lands. Not too many peo­p­le have been here befo­re, and cer­tain­ly not too many tou­rists. This was a clas­si­cal hun­ting area during the years of the trap­pers. We find a reason­ab­ly well shel­te­red landing site and hike over a wide-open, bar­ren coas­tal plain to the flat-top­ped mou­ta­ins that are stret­ching all the way along this coast. Vom one of the tops we… Con­ti­nue rea­ding

Final­ly, a wea­ther win­dow has ope­ned up bet­ween all the­se low pres­su­res that have been pas­sing through here now. Accor­ding to the fore­cast, we should have some calm days ahead of us now. So let’s go down south and around the south cape! The sea was calm and the sun was shi­ning, so we didn’t want to miss the oppor­tu­ni­ty to make a landing in Hyt­te­vi­ka. One of the most beau­tiful places in Spits­ber­gen! The sce­n­ery is stun­ning,… Con­ti­nue rea­ding

It is love­ly to return to the tun­dra after so much snow and ice fur­ther north. The­re is, of cour­se, still a lot of snow also at sea level here at the cen­tral west coast, but the snow-free patches of vege­ta­ti­on are get­ting lar­ger and lar­ger, to the delight of geese and reinde­er, which are here in num­bers. We have even found some ear­ly flowers of the pur­ple saxif­ra­ge! We are in Eidem­buk­ta and ven­ture out in three groups for a l… Con­ti­nue rea­ding

Bra­ve Mara­thon-run­ners do their work in and near Lon­gye­ar­by­en, while we get rea­dy for action on Anti­gua. In the after­noon, we are rea­dy to set sail on Anti­gua, and that is exact­ly what we actual­ly do as soon as Cap­tain Robert has said hel­lo to ever­y­bo­dy. A brief intro­duc­tion turns us all into real sai­lers, and soon the can­vas goes up into the bree­ze, and the reason­ab­ly warm sun sees us sai­ling out of Advent­fjord and no… Con­ti­nue rea­ding

The swan song of the win­ter? Just in time for the “orni­tho­lo­gi­cal spring”, a rare tun­dra swan (Cyg­nus bewi­ckii) show­ed up near Lon­gye­ar­by­en. Swans are not on the list of bree­ding birds in Spits­ber­gen, they come just occa­sio­nal­ly as vagrants. Tun­dra swan (Cyg­nus bewi­ckii) in Advent­da­len. The­re are just five sightin­gs of tun­dra swans regis­tered on artsobservasjoner.no, a web­site to regis­ter spe­ci­es… Con­ti­nue rea­ding

The win­ter sea­son is now, in ear­ly May or actual­ly soon mid May, about to come to an end, but we are curr­ent­ly having beau­tiful days, after an April that was part­ly quite, well, mixed. Now we having tem­pe­ra­tures below zero again – but not much, it is not too cold – and it is nice and sun­ny at times. Good reasons to get out the­re and enjoy the ama­zing ice- and snow land­scape, once again in win­ter mode. Spring is not far away any­mo… Con­ti­nue rea­ding

The win­ter keeps show­ing off with cold, sta­ble wea­ther and the sun is clim­bing a tiny litt­le bit hig­her every day. We make use of such grand con­di­ti­ons as often as pos­si­ble to enjoy the out­doors in this ama­zing coun­try, to which the light is now retur­ning with might. Sas­send­a­len. Here, we are in Sas­send­a­len. It is big and wide, one of Spitsbergen’s lar­gest val­leys. At this time of year, it is one of the most fre­quent­ly u… Con­ti­nue rea­ding

Febru­ary can be a beau­tiful month in Spits­ber­gen. Espe­ci­al­ly if it is nice and cold and not as bat­te­red by cli­ma­te chan­ge as last year, when warm air incur­si­ons brought seve­ral peri­ods of tha­wing and rain. This year, we have had good frost for most of the time in Febru­ary. Cold, clear wea­ther and not too much wind. The sun is still lar­ge­ly behind the hori­zon and hid­den by moun­ta­ins, but the moun­tain tops star­ted glo­win… Con­ti­nue rea­ding
