Here we are in a rubber boat in front of a glacier. In the middle, you can see the boat "Stockholm" which is a lovely vessel to go on an arctic cruise with. Just after I took the picture, the glacier calved producing a thunderous sound and some rather big waves.
Here are some reindeer. Most animals around Longyearbyen have little fear of people .. reindeer, ptarmigans, polar foxes .. and so they hang around. For reindeer, settlements mean more high-quality grub and shelter from the wind.
Here you can see the colour of the tundra in late summer ..
And here we are on a trip in april 2007. It's impossible to tell distances on Spitsbergen .. Those humps of snow in the distance are big mountains, many kilometres away.
Hm, now I'm getting more error messages -_-
