Day 9

The watch is on.
Today’s landing is short and easy. Maybe we get practice. Two rifles in the mountains. In such bays in the north of Svalbard, it’s easier to make a bear, you have to be vigilant all the time. Area scanning. Division into observation sectors during approaches. A lot of topics. The area is traditionally of increased aesthetics. Beauty is bubbling. It’s hard to eat. Fortunately, there were several gulps today. 1.5h high plateau through a frozen river and from the foothills steep heels, even the shoes at the end. Downhill scaled spaces. Even soft snow in the upper parts. Lower heavier but fast enough. In the morning before the departure, a family of walruses came to the mountains. They are very curious. In the mountains, a polar fox approached us three times, but he kept his distance.
That’s the Arctic freeride.
Easy but emotionally emotive. Thanks for this. We are going to look further, maybe Land of Prince Charles …..
