Svartisen

Much of the morning's activities today involve those dread words tendering, Zodiac, rubber, and life jackets. It's also -2°C on the jetty, so spikes are recommended. 

We could go on a kayak adventure, a photo stroll, choose one of three underwater drone sessions, join in with beach cleaning activities, or take part in the Polar Plunge (are you MAD??). 

We could also walk to the base of this real glacier, to get up close and personal with the ice.

But every one of those activities involves cold, or wet, or rubber, or all three.

So we'll be staying in the warm and dry thank you very much, and looking forward to this afternoon's Astronomy lecture ("The Moon And You"), one on the Motherhood of Whales, and sailing back past the Arctic Circle Globe sometime between 5-5.30pm.
