Børøya and Sandøya

Anchored in the Langøysundet strait, almost equidistant from both islands, the activity today centres on Børøya, with only a short cruise (by Zodiac) around Sandøya later this afternoon.

A "level 4" hike (!), a walk and talk about goats and sheep, how to track animals in the snow, and another Polar Plunge (!!!) are all on offer today, with all the tendering going to the beach, since there is no jetty.

So we'll be spending another day on board, waiting for the Astronomy lecture to start and also looking forward to a talk on shifting ocean currents and their likely future effects on the climate.
