Just to mention a few words about distances and how hard it is to actually comprehend how large the landscape are on Svalbard, this picture is shoot right to the river Adventfjorden's outlet, one of Longyearbyens harbours and main"beachline" (if we can call it so). From Adventfjorden and straight over, there's more or less 3 Km at its shortest, to Adventtoppen which is the mountain ridge we have to the left in the pic, the distance is approximately 5.22Km, while the neighbour mountain Hjortfjellet (or Deermountain literally translated) is 5.69Km.
In the background next to Hjortfjellet with the most snow on it we can glimpse Birkafjellet with the longest distance of 9.34Km, all the way to the right we have Dirigenten with a distance of 8.74Km from where I stood and took the picture.
So, in other words, without a reference point like a cabin or anything to scale the surroundings by it is pretty hard to understand and comprehend how majestic and enormous the nature and landscape around us actually is.
Have a nice evening everybody!
(I'll be posting more in the coming weekend on the topic!)
