SVALBARD / SPITZBERGEN

Svalbard is a group of islands, beween Iceland and the Northpole / Icebarrier

I came there several times, while I was working onboard of M/S Vistafjord

Take a cruise with me to Magdalena-bay, one of the most beautiful places I have ever been

What a wonderful landscape

Its pretty cold out on deck, but its worth to stay outside

Now that really is a very special kind of service -- serving drinks with ice-cubes that had been frozen thousands or even millions of years ago!

Very good photos. It is a pity that you have never seen a polar bear.
