Most of us reached Longyearbyen, capital of Svalbard in the afternoon. Rupert, Rick and Heïdi welcomed us on board the Polaris I, and we immediately set off towards the 86km long island of Prins Karls Forland, West of Spitsbergen. The dramatic and varied landscape of the island mostly consists of wild alpine mountains made of the oldest rocks of the archipelago, called the basement. We anchored in the bay of Selvågen.
