On board MS Quest sailing around Spitsbergen
I'm running out of adjectives... yet another great day, this time after a fairly rough night in heavy seas.
This morning exploring on land, admiring a forest of polar willows, watching a Svalbard reindeer wander past us only to be mobbed first by a pair of Skuas and then by Arctic Terns.
We saw some King Eider ducks in the fjord so joined the Zodiacs to go and get a close view.
Then in the afternoon we cruised to a nearby glacier and spent 2 hours meandering slowly around in a Zodiac watching the birds, a seal and the creaking glacier... just fabulous
