The day started in slightly overcast condition but the weather improved during breakfast and we had amazing day cruising the pack ice! Awesome scenery and while we were slowly cruising the pack ice we saw our third Polar Bear and it wasn't in a hurry!
The captain quickly reduced speed and we managed to keep track of the bear.
The bear showed absolutely no sign of stress being followed by us.
Getting in and out of the water.
Cash withdrawal at a local ATM.
The Polar Bear got further and further away, so we left it doing what Polar Bears do which is probably hunting for food.
The Polar Bears travel from the east to the west on the pack ice around the South Cape, they call it the Polar Bear Conveyer Belt. When the bears arrive in Hornsund, they will usually seek for glaciers and later cross the mountains to Storfjorden in the east.
The sun was out out, the scenery awesome and the colors were magical.
Quite delayed by the pack ice , we finally reached Gnalodden in Hornsund.
More of that in the next post!
The Arctic is like a magical place!
