Svalbard

an Elderhostel program

 

we were told about the island of Spitsbergen

 

and about our Cruise ship M/S BRAND.

 

and the type of scenery we would see

 

we got into the Zodiac boats

 

and went ashore

 

learned from the Norwegian men guarding their natural heritage

 

walked on shore
(always with a guide carrying a rifle to protect from possible
Polar Bears)
