An adventure on Isfjorden

We were supposed to have a nice weekend on Skansbukta. We had that - and ended up to have even two days longer trip.


Skansbukta is one of my favourite places here in Svabard. On my dreams there is always Northern Jacob's ladders flowering. This picture is from an earlier trip.


The cabin is a nice and cosy and there isn't anything to complain with the view.


For additional for beautiful views Skansbukta is historically interesting place with old remains from gypsum mining in the early 1900s.


A bearded seal was curious and he kept following what we were doing. I'm not actually sure if the dog was more interested in it or the seal was interested in us.


We crossed Sassenfjorden and went to Diabas before weather changed. But wind blew up while we were trying to sail home. We turn back when we realised that our small rubber boat was little bit too small for those waves we met. It wouldn't be that fun to end up the trip with to became involuntary members of the unpopular Puma club.
