Reindeer Stare Down

Svalbard has its own reindeer known as Svalbard Reindeer.  They are smaller and have shorter legs.  They are strange animals with big building eyes.  Here’s one that was staring me down.

Whale Tail

Who Doesn’t Like A Whale Tail

I have traveled a lot and photographed hundreds of humpback whales and whale tails.  Here a whale tail from my recent trip to Svalbard.  We had a real good whale encounter and this is one of the many images I made while the sun was starting its trip to the horizon.

Here’s an interesting fact.  You can identify a whale by its tail.  There is a website called Happy Whale  and you send the images you have of whale tails.  They will put the photo in their database a report back if the whale has been spotted before and where.  They will also send you an email if someone else identifies the same whale.  You can see on a map where the whale has been.  Pretty fun stuff.

Svalbard Austfonna Glacier

Austfonna Glacier, Svalbard
Austfonna Glacier, Svalbard

This was shot a few weeks ago as we traveled along the Austfonna Glacier.  This Glacier is huge and goes on for hundreds of kilometers.  Our plan was to travel along the whole edge of the glacier but we had to turn around.  The glacier had progressed out by quite a bit and the tracks needed for navigation would have taken us through the glacier.  It was good to see this glacier growing while so many others have been retreating.

This really is a site to behold and I felt privileged to photograph this magnificent wonder.

Svalbard First Night 2022

The beauty of a late season trip to Svalbard
The beauty of a late-season trip to Svalbard

 

I just returned from two weeks in Svalbard, one of my happy places.  I took 11,000 images which will be edited down to around 100.  That’s the hard part. This is the sunset from one of our first nights in Svalbard.  Lots more to come.
