Svalbard, Norway 2015

Svalbard – what an amazing place, far from anywhere, at 78deg North. There were not many species, but the ones there were quality. See link for Trip Report, if you fancy a visit. Sadly, Mike Richardson, a friend on this trip, died 2 days after returning. He said he’d really enjoyed the trip though, which was nice.
