In the afternoon, we visited the spectacular cliffs of Alkefjellet, home to nesting seabirds including Brünnich’s guillemots, kittiwakes, and various gulls. The air was alive with sound - wings flapping, birds calling, and the occasional squawk of alarm as a sly Arctic fox was spotted darting along the cliff edges, likely in search of eggs or unwary prey.

The day ended with a peaceful cruise towards the nearby glacier Idunbreen - and a surprise sighting: a walrus sleeping on an ice floe, completely unbothered by our ship. It slumbered on peacefully, a calm and fitting close to a day full of life, both great and small.
