This morning we woke to the soothing voice of our expedition leader informing us that there was a polar bear right where we were due to land! As such, the captain decided to take us to Hogrinden instead. It was beautiful there and we hiked, walked, strolled and photographed our way through ice floes. After our time ashore we navigated across the channel to Edgeøya and made a stealthy landing at an old walrus hunting outpost. Bleached bones lay on the beach, but ironically, a group of walrus were hauled out along the shore. It was a gorgeous encounter with some true ambassadors of the north.
