It was quite a foggy morning with a bit of a soft
rain. Our guess scientists that we pick
up in Jan Mayen gave a talk on their research on the local seabirds that nest
on the island. We arrived to
Longyearbyen at about 5 pm and stay until 9 pm.
At our arrival to port a bus was waiting for us and drove us into town,
although some preferred to walk. In town
some went shopping, others to the Svalbard museum and at the Radisson Blue
Hotel it was offer a lecture on Longyearbyen and climate. On the way out we had a wonderful view of the
town and our expedition leader pointed out the position of the airport and the
location of the World Seed Vault that is very likely that many of us will go to
see at our return in a few days from now.
