During afternoon history stood on the schedule. We visited Smeerenburg, the Dutch " blubbertown " and listened to the whaling history that began here in the early 17thcentury! And of course we could not leave out Virgohamna were A.S. Andrée attempt to reach the North Pole by balloon 120 years ago!
But the adventure was far from over! Just before the dinner we spot a polar bear on his hike along the shoreline.
Please note: Depending on the lens used for a photo or video shot an animal may appear to be closer than it is. We always follow strict wildlife guidelines to ensure that we do not cause any disturbance.
