Nearing Kirkenes on the Hurtigruten ship "Trollfjord" (since renamed), we passed through this area of thin sea ice. Best viewed large. I have been prompted to post this image by seeing another from nearly the same position, but taken almost exactly a year later and posted on ipernity by Gudrun in the past few days.

Unfortunately my lack of Norwegian prevents me from translating this sign. I think it must have been the fences that prompted me to take this snowy image. :-) HFF, have a great weekend everyone, and stay safe in this crazy period. Explored.

We travelled on the "Trollfjord" here seen at our most easterly point at Kirkenes, only a few km from the Russian border. In the past few days I have learned that Hurtigruten have now re-named the ship as the "Maud" , after the first Queen of Norway, as well as Roald Amundsen´s 1917 polar exploration vessel. I gather she will now be used for expedition type cruises. Explored. My involvement on ipernity is limited at present, so my apologies if I do not respond to your comments or visit your images - I shall try to do so as far as possible.
