Team Italy 4 days Spitsbergen Snowmobile expedition

Thank you - Team Italy for a fantastic Nature Adventure at Spitsbergen 24 – 29.04.2012

Driving along the sea ice, among tall pack ice figures in front of the majestic glacier made the time stand still for me! Spending the nights on the legendary Dutch Schooner, Noorderlicht anchored in the ice was an adventure itself.

This was a great end of a long winter on snowmobile. Now the summer and swimming season can start.

Arctic char

Early this morning we went up to the mountain with snowmobile to fish arctic char. The fishing was not the best but we were all totally exhausted after fighting cod four days so a day relaxing on a frozen and beautiful lake was really appealing and the weather was excellent.  

Snowmobile guests from Germany and France.

The last week Adventure Camp Mehamn has had snowmobile guests from Germany and France visiting our camp. Both groups started from north of Finland with guide and made their way up to us here to Barents Sea. After an evening with sauna and dinner such as King Crab and Halibut they headed back to Finland the next day.

Just about to leave Adventure Camp Mehamn

New snowmobile and hiking tracks

Yesterday we drove out with our ATW to Gamvik, a village 20 minutes east from Mehamn. From Gamvik we went up to the mountains and made new snowmobile and hiking tracks. Now there are not many places on Nordkyn peninsula where you can’t hike  ore go with snowmobile.

The track can be tough

But also very beautiful!
