Sea Spirit Arctic Cruise Excursion #3: Zodiac Landing on Ny Alesund

Description from YouTube

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com After (previous video) announcements that a woman died during the zodiac cruise of 14th of July Glacier, the ship waited for investigators to board the Sea Spirit and decide whether or not this cruise could proceed. Periodic announcements, dinner, and a final announcement that we would do a shore landing at 8:30p. Ny Alesund in Kongsfjorden is now a scientific community of 169 people in the summer (which drops to 39 in winter) and has the northernmost Post Office, Gift Shop and North Pole Hotel in the World. This 24 kilometer/14 mile fjord is also where Roald Amundsen attempted to fly over the North Pole in a dirigible! An interesting shore excursion with historic buildings that had been moved from Ny London, migrating bird reserve and, of course, the gift shop.
