Svalbard and Jan Mayen ⋅ After learning about the history of northpole expeditions (crazy people back then! And I complain about the cold wearing perfect functional clothes) and visiting the Svalbard museum, we checked out the real wildlife. By the way: I learned that women could either shoot guns or do jazz gymnastics inRead more
Svalbard and Jan Mayen ⋅ Went on a boattrip today. Perfect weather conditions, saw Pyramiden (a former russian city, now ghosttown), met a bearded seal relaxing from a polarbear fight and whatched the glacier and the moving ice - absolutely fantastic!
Svalbard and Jan Mayen ⋅ After Santas postbox and the northernmost church we challenged polar bears & attended the first Svalbard day - people from Svalbard sharing their regional food, result: haggis with Sauerkraut, scottish desert and loads of tea - why does Longyearbyens only supermarket sell Sauerkraut again?
Svalbard and Jan Mayen ⋅ Alle Dinge sind hier die "nördlichsten der Welt" auch das Craftbeer. Und um als Local Alkohol zu kaufen, braucht es eine Permit. Zwei Kisten Bier und 2L Schnaps/Monat - mehr gibts nicht! Wein kann man allerdings Literweise trinken; soll ja gut fürs Herz sein
Svalbard and Jan Mayen ⋅ Was ist cooler: Snowmobil oder Fatbike? Woher wissen die Eisbären, wo die Polarbear-protected-zone anfängt, die in der Straßenkarte eingezeichnet ist? Und mist, ist es Feiertag oder nach 18:30, da man grad keinen Alkohol kaufen kann?
Svalbard and Jan Mayen ⋅ Hier kommen unsere Wetterdaten her. Und auf dem Weg nach oben kommt man am Saatguttresor mit 4,5 Mio Samenproben vorbei. Oben am Berg dann 2 Polarbear-guards getroffen, die erschrecken die Eisbären für uns (Jobprofil: laut auf Metal schlagen können und Waffenschein)
Svalbard and Jan Mayen ⋅ Went cuddling dogs, use the binoculars some more, enjoying the sun and nice company + "became" svalbardians
Svalbard and Jan Mayen ⋅ Tryed to hike to the coal mine, but got scared because of the melting snow and stone avalanche. Did a walk across town and stopped for a moose burger, yummy
Svalbard and Jan Mayen ⋅ In Svalbard it is good custom to take off your shoes and leave your riffle outside, when entering a house (or a bank)
Svalbard and Jan Mayen ⋅ 🌬 41 °F
Today we took a full day catamaran tour further north in the Arctic Circle.
During our two hour trip to Pyramiden we passed the Nordenskiold Glacier with its massive walls of calving ice.
Pyramiden is named for the pyramid shaped mountain that is next to it.
This lost Arctic City was created inRead more
Looks very interesting!
