Barbecue on our boat trip to glacier
After we departed Barentsburg, we were offered a barbecue before getting to our next destination, the face of a glacier into the sea.
Glacier
We managed to go alongside a drifting piece of ice and then hacked it up to put in our glasses of whiskey. The ice is a few thousand years old!
