Nordenskiöldfjellet 7. 4. 2015
Tuesday, 07 April 2015
Pierre is guiding us today on Nordenskiöldfjellet, which the highest peak around and is hiding in clouds.
Up the Tverrdalen.
It gets quite steep towards the end.
And gentle on the plateau.
View down on Sverdruphamaren plateau, which is supposed to be the remnant of old valley bottom.
Walking on the moraine.
Some strange mushrooms are growing on the plateau, despite low temperatures.
Walking on a ridge to avoid glacier crevasses on the right.
Bonjour Charlotte.
Skiers frendly ridge
Slowly turns to gentle cliff.
Which needs to be climbed.
And another one.
On the skis again.
Longyearbreen glacier.
As we approached the summit, the clouds disappeared.
Final ascent.
Unnamed glacier with dangerous crevasses.
Almost there.
Most of the clouds are gone, but some are still preventing better view.
Abandoned meteorological station.
Covered with thick rime.
That is supposed to be a house.
Panorama to the east
And to west. Isfjorden veiled by the mist.
Hello, anyone there?
Prevalent wind direction and subsequent accumulation is from southeast.
"I will take it home and put it on my shelf".
Group picture with my backpack instead of me.
The skiing group decided to ski down the east face.
High above Svalbard.
