One of the biggest treats in Svalbard for me was visiting the city of Pyramiden. It lies on the northernmost point that I have ever ventured to and walking through...
The consistency of our thoughts, assumptions and opinions is tested on a regular basis; sometimes we have the grace of getting the trials delivered in a gentle and subtle way,...
Trip from Longyearbyen to Barentsburg is a boat ride which takes around 8 hours, while covering over 100 km in length. Besides visiting the aforementioned Russian settlement, there is a...
I came back to Svalbard a bit over a year after the first visit, very eager to experience more activities and see more of that unparalleled nature. I have scheduled...
My first encounter with Svalbard had happened in late summer of 2020, in the year when Covid escalated. I was at the end of my maternity leave, came back to...
My last activity in Longyearbyen during my first visit was a kayak tour over Adventfjorden. This is a small fjord which separates Longyearbyen and the coast on which lies the...
Deciding to go on various solo hikes was one of the best decisions I could make. Being a thorough person with obsessive tendencies when it comes to planning my trips...
Svalbard, the ultimate arctic diamond, worthy of visiting in every season and incredibly full of activities, is not exactly known to be a budget destination. In fact, it is the...
Heavily impressed by all I saw in the morning on my first day in Svalbard – the dogs were absolutely fantastic – I went to the harbor to check-in and...
I came to Longyearbyen, the world’s northernmost permanently inhabited town located on the main island called Spitsbergen, in the late afternoon. My plane landed at 18.00 h; as soon as...
I admired the Arctic since I was just a kid. To me, unfortunately, it was absolutely unreachable. Watching all those documentaries by Sir David Attenborough and other lucky naturalists was...
Landing party: Island Gradnja itinerara za đir po Islandu Je li bilo hladno na Islandu? Dan #1. | dolazak u Reykjavik Seltun polje Dan #2. | Golden circle i savršena...
Posljednji dan vožnje s Nordkappa do Osla pokrio je preko 500 kilometara fantastičnih kadrova, prilično nestabilnog (kišnog!) vremena, ali i jednog od najljepših norveških gradova – divote zvane Røros. Grad...
Početak posljednje etape putovanja prema Sjeveru tj. povratka kući s istoga bio je izlazak iz Arktičkog kruga, prelazak preko 66-og stupnja i pokojeminute sjeverne geografske širine. Nakon divne vožnje u...
Posljednja točka na kraju ceste na Lofotenima zove se Å (norveška abeceda ide od A do Å, za razliku od hrvatske koja završava sa Z). Nedaleko od mjesta Å nalazila...
Plaža na kojoj smo podigli šator, umočili se u okean i prespavali – Unstad – u jutarnjim je satima izgledala još ljepše i poželjnije. Nije ovo ništa neobično; Unstad je...
Volim jutra kada me dočeka ovakav tip magle. Gusta i teška, skoro da ju možeš opipati koliko je chunky. Ne volim ovakva jutra kada smo na putu jer to znači...
Tupi (finska koliba) je vrlo simpatična iznutra. Drveni zidovi, drveni kreveti i karirane rustikalne zavjese (bolje rečeno, neprozirni zastori) super su okružje za naspavati se. Dojam popravljaju jumala-related knjige. Ovako...
Znači, posjetili smo Nordkapp. Imali smo na raspolaganju ukupno 15 dana, a do Nordkappa smo lagano vozili sedam, bez prevelike priše i stiske. Redovito pregledavanje YR-a i ostalih prognostičara nimalo...
Prva jutarnja slika na cesti prikazuje nekoliko bitnih točaka (Lakselv nije bitan, barem ne u ovom kontekstu): Hammerfest, posljednji veći grad na cesti do Nordkappa (istina, da bi ga se...
Meni su Samiji vrlo zanimljivi. Jako sam sretna što sam imala priliku završiti u krajevima gdje žive; dosta sam ih proučila, pogotovo njihovu mitologiju, i baš se lijepo zaokružila priča....
Ovako izgleda ljetno jutro u polarnom krugu. Čista je sreća otvoriti oči, odzipati šator i udisati neopisivo čist i svjež zrak. Cilj dana bio nam je ulazak u Bodø, simpatični...
