July 24 We’ve made it to the Arctic Circle

We’ve finally arrived in the Arctic Circle; we’re in Longyearbyen. It is sooo good to feel cold air after weeks of hot humid weather. Patches of snow here and there on the slopes which look a bit like icing sliding off the top of a cake.


We’re 1309 km from the North Pole and 18692 km from the South Pole. Ain’t it a big world!?  Love the warning sign!

We have been warned not to go out ‘at night’ because polar bears are known to come in to town. Hmmmm check out sunset 12am and sunrise 2am 😏 Fortunately we’ll be asleep so we’re totally safe.

Tomorrow we head out to sea ...... polar bears and walruses here we come!
