I visited Spitsbergen frm 19th. June to the 27thJune this year.

We travelled from Longyearbyen (the "capital") by the Icebreaker MS Polar Star.

The plan was to try to circumnavigate Spitsbergen but we were stopped at 79degrees 51.7 minutes north by the ice. We then turned south and explored the west coast of Spitsbergen

This is a fjord near to Longyearbyen where we spent the last evening and had a farewell party.

This picture is taken about 10.00 at night.
