Marine researchers surveying cod around Svalbard got an unexpected visitor when a curious polar bear intercepted their underwater camera rig. The team had deployed a baited remote underwater video system in Hornsund to monitor juvenile fish populations.

✏️ Entry Forty-One is Day Five. Sarah letting the zodiac carry itself around the bergs. A polar bear laid out along a beach that afternoon, jaw first, then the skull, then prints in the mud a day old. Then out of Hornsund under reefed sail.

Day 04. July 18, Hornsund. Cleats over the boots. We walked up Wibebreen with meltwater running in channels under our feet. A glacier is alive. Then the sun came round warm and took me for half an hour.

Day 03: No Ground. July 17, sailing south to Hornsund. The sails went up in the early morning. Seventy-four kilometres. Not one person set foot on anything. Nobody minded.

Favorite Photo: SVALBARD - HORNSUND (76.97° N, 15.72° O) by robertbauer-badhomburg
SVALBARD - HORNSUND (76.97° N, 15.72° O)
The central and inner parts of Hornsund are more heavily glaciated, so there is hardly any tundra left here. Both in the Burgerbukta area and at Samarinvågen, we find steep, high cliffs and rugged, alpine peaks. Paradoxically, there is more and longer-lasting drift ice in Hornsund than further north along the west coast. This is due to cold, polar water masses that come from the northeast and flow along the west coast, circling around Spitsbergen’s South Cape. Consequently, Hornsund has a high proportion of cold, polar water masses, especially in the inner part of the fjord in deeper water layers, which are prevented from mixing with the open sea by sills. flic.kr/p/2syHejT

Very mild air reached the Arctics:

After yesterday's record warm in Scotland with 22.0C at 22.0 Fyvie Castle (Oct record tied),
today October historical records fell in the Svalbard:
10.9 Isfjord Radio
10.6 Akseloya
10.2 Svalbard Lufthavn
9.0 Hornsund

+15C also in Greenland

Das Gesichtsbüchlein hat mir gerade eine schöne Erinnerung an unseren 2. Trip nach Svalbard in die Timeline gespült. Es war ein etwas (gelinde gesagt) stürmischer Segeltörn nach Hornsund, wo wir die folgenden Tage mit Touren verbrachten. ⛵️⛷️🏂

A gun from the SS Hornsund, which was torpedoed and sunk 2.5 miles southeast of the gun’s present day location in Scarborough. The only casualty was 61-year-old Greaser Michael McHale, who is commemorated by the CWGC on the Tower Hill Memorial.

Freshening of porewater indicated by low chlorinity was detected in Isfjord and Hornsund. In Hornsund and Tempelfjord (Isfjord), water isotope signatures point to a meteoric origin, likely via submarine groundwater discharge (SGD). (1/2)
Submarine groundwater discharge and gas hydrate dissociation fuel organic matter formation in Arctic fjord sediments
Arctic fjord sediments store significant amounts of organic matter (OM), contributing to the global carbon cycle, but are increasingly influenced by c…
