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…
Mussel fishing in our village
There actually are mussels living in the streams around our village in Germany! Today we joined in to relocate some of them to a new but more natural river that is being created.

Tired but happy faces on our last day at Seal River lodge.
My Seal River Lodge diary – Day 3 – 7th September 2017
New day, new adventures. The weather might have been a bit rough during our boat trip, but all this was forgotten when the night sky treated us to a wonderful Northern light show.

Day two of our tundra adventure. Two wolf sightings made this day really special. And if this isn’t enough, there are always Sik Sik around to cheer you up.
My Seal River Lodge diary – Day 1 – 5th September 2017
A very exciting first day at Seal River Lodge. Seeing the tundra without snow is a great experience and having a sleeping polar bear at your doorstep is just the best thing ever.
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…
