81 Degrees North and the Land of the Midnight Sun. August 17th - Monacobreen - north shore of Svalbard. We moored in Monacobreen, a fjord with lots of ice floating in the water and several glaciers.

Our Zodiac was driven by Christian and our guide was Sue Flood. As we got nearer to the glacier, we saw some calving taking place but it was a long way away. Eugen...

We went on to the bow to watch the ship making its way through the ever increasing floes of ice. We then went to a lecture on Polar Bears by Robin Aiello which was interesting and entertain...
