Skeleton supreme

Morten sitting on some old whale bones in Hvalrossbukta (Walrus Bay), on the northern side of Sør-Jan.
(hey, you need say "cheese" man! :-)
Note the repeated holes along the broken rib bone, each an inch big. Those are from blood vessels supplying the bone marrow with oxygen and nutrition!
Also observe the dotted tracks from falling stones on the moss in the steep slope in the background.
Constant erosion, constant threats...
