Truly an off the beaten path destination
Actually Jan Mayen is not a tourist destination at all! This island used to be militarized zone and not open to the public.
We were lucky that
a) the commander of the station gave us permission to land on the island and
b) that the weather permitted our landing!
I was so excited that we were allowed to have a look at this piece of earth that many people have not even heard of and I would like to share some of my impressions with you! |

WOW! this is my ultimate dream destination! Thanks a lot for sharing and I wish I'd have a postcard from there too! Best regards form Jan Mayenne of the Philippines! | nekro Wed Dec 12, 2007 21:08 UTC
really nice page. formally there is 8 landing every year, but it can change. the norwegian royal air forces operates a c-130 hercules, it takes supplies and scientific instruments | Confucius Sat Feb 3, 2007 17:20 UTC
This unusual destination appears as a unique country in the VT database, but I assume it belongs to Norway. Glad you enjoyed whale bone watching! Now, about that funny sign... oops; looks like I've already used up my 255 character maximum for this comment | sue_stone Wed Jan 17, 2007 18:42 UTC
Wow - what an amazing place and an amazing experience for you! Love the photos of the beaches and also the black and white contrast. |
