Svalbard
an Elderhostel program
we were told about the island of Spitsbergen
and about our Cruise ship M/S BRAND.
and the type of scenery we would see
we got into the Zodiac boats
and went ashore
learned from the Norwegian men guarding their natural heritage
walked on
shore
(always with a guide carrying a rifle to protect from possible
Polar Bears)
the ship as seen from on shore
lots of ice from the calving glaciers
