Landing on Krossfjorden Beach

Ho-hum.  Another day, another zodiac

landing on an amazing beach, this time

with a glacier framing the background.

Glen, another picture of lichen on a rock?

But there so many I did NOT take a picture of!

Not a Flock of Seagulls.

A pair of Glaucous Gulls.

All mountains are pretty in their own way.

But snow-covered mountains that rise from

the sea are high on the awe-inspiring rankings.

Nature finds a way.

The 14th of July Glacier.  This 16 km long

glacier was named by Prince Albert I of

Monaco in honor of Bastille Day.  I do not

know if they have Prince Albert in a can, or

if they will let him out if they do.

The glacier is on the left,

the ship is on the right.

Glad to help.

Have you herd the one about multiple reindeer?

Don't mess with these barnacle geese.  From

their expressions, they will wreck you.

Bird, pond, glacier, Krossfjorden.

Carol and I never saw the elusive Arctic fox,

 so we'll have to be content with these clear

sand footprints.

Kittiwakes rule this roost.

The interplay of sun and snow

makes this a must shoot.
