Region: The Arctic

Destinations: Svalbard

Ship: m/v Ortelius

Nachdem wir 2 Tage sehr erfolglos und frustriert nach dem König der Arktis gesucht haben, wurden wir gleich mit mehreren Eisbären belohnt. Ein Bär fing sogar vor unseren Augen eine Robbe und verspeiste sie. Wir sahen außerdem unterwegs Robben, einen Polarfuchs, Lummen u.a. Vögel, Rentiere und viele Walrosse. Rinie, der Teamleiter gab alles, damit wir viel sehen konnten. Das Schiff fuhr uns durch Packeis und Treibeis und alles bei einer wunderschönen Kulisse mit weißen Bergen und knallblauem Meer. Das Essen war ausgesprochen gut und abwechslungsreich. Die Zidiacfahrten waren besonders spannend. Da wir 2 Tage starken Wind hatten, waren diese Tage leider langweilig vielleicht könnte man diese dann auf dem Schiff besser gestalten.
