Beautiful animals and annoying people seem to go together.

No rest for the wicked
This will be another one of our “we can sleep later” holidays…
Boats, whales and smiles all around
Our boat trip around Svalbard started with an amazing first day…
Arctic safari
We are back in Polar bear country. Yes, we are here to see Polar bears (and various other wildlife) and No, there is no snow!
No Pressure
We finally made it out to the Nanuk Lodge. Being at such a remote location really feels slighlty surreal. And even if we didn’t see what we came here to see, we had a wonderful time. I wish I could have stayed there much longer…
The Thompson saga
Sometimes things don’t go to plan. During our last trip to Canada we had an unplanned extended “layover” in Thompson. When things like this happen you can either give up or make it into another kind of adventure.
Day two in Thompson, Manitoba
It didn’t really cross my mind that we would not make it to Nanuk as planned. Well, here we are now, stuck in Thompson, with a big storm on its way to hit us.
The call of the ice
We’re going back to polar bear country and are hoping to experience some of nature’s best moments.
