We sailed in a northeasterly direction from Nordaustlandet to Kvitøya, Svalbard's fifth largest island. The island is almost completely covered in ice and is almost always surrounded by pack ice. The fog was thick, too thick to make a Zodiac landing so we spent the afternoon listening to lectures on Polar Bears while relaxing and snoozing in our room. After dinner we went up to the bridge area to watch for Polar Bears on the pack ice. This is a photograph that we took of the ice from the bow of the ship. Temperatures were near or below freezing with heavy fog.
