Epilog

At Longyearbyen airport now, flight back to Tromsø soon.
We did not have any access to internet the past few days, so I will post a bunch of pictures now.
We had some really nice weather around Ny Ålesund and went to some beautiful, lonely beaches. I also had a close encounter with a magical glacier...

We sailed to the Fram Strait and into the polar ice. It feels like the edge of the world, and quite a contrast.

Then into the fjord, visiting the glaciers.
