We sailed from Longyearbyen with high hopes of bear sightings during the next 11 days but as always no promises. Our route that takes us all round these islands will take us north above the 80 deg line, but naturally it all depends on the amount of ice and the shifting winds. But being a russian icebreaker, this ship is built to take it.
Because we knew the bar attendant from our Antarctic voyage would be on the ship we carried from Australia a kangaroo. He now sits proudly between the polar bear and the penquin on the ships bar.
We have made many landings and its surprising to see the different terrain. Its all so varied.
They expect these driftwood logs may have come from Canada
