Entering Horsund Fjord M.S. Endeavour off NW corner of Edgeoya g6/30/33230/3/82485506.YsnkVKuu.jpg This beach is really a river delta.
Traveler on Edgeoya delta. These notched logs were possibly once part of a Siberian isba. Fresh human footprints in the squishy tundra Ice bears on M.S. Endeavour's bridge
Approach of the midnight bear g6/30/33230/3/82488463.CweHLqEB.jpg Young female on the prowl for a midnight snack ... Something smells good ...

Live prey! Lots of live prey ... Damn, it's sort of a big steel can ... g6/30/33230/3/82494008.xQlsgl4u.jpg Hey, Ralphie boy!
Mr. DeMille ...? g6/30/33230/3/82494013.89PI0uUg.jpg Maybe I can get in on the other side ... g6/30/33230/3/82820864.NLYLMwrn.jpg
Polar paparazzi g6/30/33230/3/82821585.BOExy8eq.jpg Come on... I am NOT gonna swim across! g6/30/33230/3/82831983.UVzEwEIP.jpg
Ice seen through clear water The coast of Spitsbergen, Svalbard's largest island Lowering the gangway for a zodiac excursion --- Caption Contest! --- (Winner will get credit, and our gratitude.)
Firepit left by hunters, looking like something out of 'Robinson Crusoe' Sunbathing walruses -- on the beach at 10 p.m. Walruses! Norwegian hunter/trappers used this cabin into the 1970s, taking bears and foxes.
A glaucous gull and three chicks resented our presence. Kittiwakes? Trappers needed to bar the doors against bears. M.S. Endeavour (far back on left) dwarfed by a 50-meter-high glacial wall
Snout of the Negribreen glacier The Horsund fjord system on the west coast of Spitsbergen attracts bears, foxes, and photographers. Horsund is edged by glacially-carved peaks and is fed by many side fjords. Words fail.

An artist chose Artic-flower colors for the city's buildings. Impatient snowmobiles... Beware of bears in all of Svalbard.
