YouTube Video Description

Ad Walruses on the shore, a glacier landing, and our first Polar Bear sighting as the ship pushed into the pack ice. Wijdefjorden is the longest fjord in Svalbard, cutting 108 kilometres into the north coast of Spitsbergen. We landed beside a glacier with walruses hauled out nearby, sailed past the walrus colony at Moffen Island, then watched National Geographic Resolution push into thickening pack ice as the Captain and Expedition Leader plotted a route north. By midnight our first Polar Bear had appeared on deck. In this video: • Morning landing hike beside a glacier in Wijdefjorden, with walruses on the shore • Sailing past Moffen Island, one of the most reliable places in the Arctic to spot walruses • National Geographic Resolution pushing into the pack ice as evening fell • Our first Polar Bear sighting from the open Bridge If you are researching an Arctic expedition cruise with Lindblad Expeditions, this is an honest, firsthand look at a single day on board, walruses, ice navigation, and the moment a Polar Bear is sighted. Expect real timings and real weather rather than a brochure version of events.
