The weather wasn’t the best for an adventure out on the fjord to see one of Svalbard’s majestic glaciers. The clouds rolled in and the wind picked up. The swell of the waves was definitely noticeable – especially for someone who has no experience as a seafarer.
The clouds were so low as to only show horizontal slivers of land above the water. And then they lowered again to sit on top of the sea, leaving water and cloud as the only visual distinctions.
As the glacier neared, the clouds were still a thick mist, allowing only tantalising vague shadows to shimmer through the white, before rising slowly like a stage curtain to reveal the most stunning ice wall, the colours utterly indescribable.
