Cruise around the northern lands - part 3

Rest in Svalbard (continued, part 3) The eighth day Bellsund - a mountain, reminiscent of a bell. It is located south of the entrance to the eponymous 80-km fjord. We enjoyed the views during dinner, which is arranged on the bow of the ship. We did not stop even then, that we were dressed in ski clothes to keep warm. The most outstanding moment of the day - sleeping bear. He was like a small yellow stone, slightly resembling the bear. Day nine awoke and saw the most spectacular fjord in the world! The player plays the "Morning" from "Peer Gynt" (Grieg orchestral suite, approx. Perevi.) - Perfect! Some time watching a small glacier. Even told his girlfriend, Karen, how wonderful he looked, suddenly from nowhere appeared flurried Martin: "Did you see a bear?" He was sitting right next to the glacier. It is not clear whether he was well hidden, whether it's time I ordered new glasses! For a while we were watching him, and then sat in an inflatable boat and decided to come closer. Bear, we were not very interesting, and we managed to trace some of them while we are not disturbed whales (mammals of the dolphin family, ca. Perevi.). Mountains Spitsbergen Hornund - is the southernmost fjord in Svalbard. There we saw the great glaciers of cleaved edges. The sun was shining brightly, and the picture was just amazing. Again saw the sleeping bear. He must have exhaust in the sun! After that we went to another fjord, however, a trip on an inflatable boat is slightly delayed. The fact that we initially thought that the glacier is not as large as it was in reality. All maps were drawn up some time ago, and as glaciers melt away permanently, it was hard to tell where we were at that time. Rowing through the icebergs, we spent three hours traveled to the farthest glacier. On the way back we again met a flock of white whales. Near them to see even more complicated than polar bears, so we assume that we were lucky. Midnight sun In the afternoon we landed on the island and visited Burbonhamra Bamsebu ("House of the bear"), another old whaling town, literally strewn with thousands of whale bones. Climbed a nearby hill, and he opened out the form at all breathtaking, literally. And here's a bear! Again saw the bear. This was on the beach. Not often you see this "king of the Arctic" with people. Hunters who live on the island, breeding common eider (a large seabird of the family Anatidae, approx. Perevi.) On the fluff, which then inciting kilts. Here's a bear, and trade in birds' nests on the shore, looking for eggs. Hunters are only allowed to drive away the bears, no more, because they are protected by law. You even look at them is not right, as you see fit, otherwise you can get into serious problems. So, we saw a bear chased flares. Very interesting! We watched the bear, who oversaw the hunters, who were watching the bear. Day ten again saw the fjord with glaciers and icebergs plenty, from which it is difficult to tear off a sight. Mount Alkhornet located within the national park Isa Fjord. It was here the last time we landed. Saw many deer, and rare Arctic flowers whose names I do not remember. All very nice. Bone near Bamsebu After landing we went back to the ship, where we waited for the last dinner on board. Again, everything was very tasty. Coca on these ships know their business! Well, we have been active landing on the ground, otherwise we would oteli his ribs and would be huge as the mountain! Day eleven sad moment of parting. We got up early, packed up and were ready to say goodbye to our little boat. Here we've got all his memories of beautiful scenery and experienced new adventures with new friends with whom we will undoubtedly continue to communicate. The team was just wonderful. They are very much aware and always ready to talk about something interesting. All highly recommend visiting here! What upset me after yet another delay in the regular airport to me again "lucky" with a companion. He was dressed up from head to toe in lycra, which apparently symbolized Warm winter clothing. Symbolized as this clothing was hardly designed for cold, besides its owner was thin as Koschey Immortal. He and hairstyle was a match! He took the place of the porthole and put your bag under the seat in front of him, so he put his feet were nowhere. Of course, he put his feet under the seat, which was in front of me! Place for me was no more. But that he was little! "Hudyshki" did not wear socks, and his legs were seriously smacked! I'm not talking about the fact that he kept twitching in his chair and constantly touched someone who was sitting next to (ie me) with his elbow. Still, he issued a strange sound nose every 3 minutes 40 seconds, plus or minus 5 seconds ... I do intersect. The flight lasted four hours and I needed something to occupy themselves. When at midnight we went to land at Longyirbyuene, I really wanted to see the mountains from a plane, but the whole picture, which appeared in front of me was formed by thick polar clouds. Tundra the next day when I sat down at the port of the ship, my head throbbed only one single thought: "For God's sake, just let people in lycra will not appear again, my traveling companion! And if he still got me in a cabin, we had to throw out the window.
