During the afternoon, we continued sailing south along the east coast of Nordaustlandet, with calm seas and clear skies accompanying us throughout the journey. On board, the day was filled with activities—engaging lectures, photo sessions, and time to reflect on the incredible experiences of the past days.
By around 21:00 hrs, we reached the awe-inspiring front of Bråsvellbreen, one of the longest glacier fronts in the Northern Hemisphere, stretching over 180 km. The scale was truly overwhelming, a shimmering wall of ice bathed in the soft Arctic evening light. From several points along the glacier face, towering waterfalls cascaded straight into the ocean—formed by meltwater traveling beneath the ice and bursting out at the edge.
With barely a breeze and only a few scattered clouds above, we took our time admiring the scene, surrounded by silence broken only by the occasional sound of cracking ice or distant bird calls. It was one of those rare, quiet moments where the majesty of the polar world speaks for itself—a perfect close to an unforgettable day.
