The ship took 50 passengers, and we were using 5 Zodiacs (rubber boats) for excursions to land or cruising around in the ice in front of the glaciers or looking at polar bears.
Before the boat trip we spent 6 days on our own in Longyearbyen with surroundings, with excursions to the mountain of Sarkofagen, visiting the Russian coal town Pyramiden and a kayak trip across Adventfjorden. We also made smaller trips on bicycle or by foot.
Some adjustments to be done in pictures and text (2014-10-08).
