Stone is beautiful | 13 August 2016 |
| I needed to retrieve wildlife cameras from Kvadehuken. After dinner I walked to the west and slept in Geopol. Next day I walked back via an alternative route along the top of the cliff. | |
 |  |
| A short stop at Papphytta. | |
 | |
| Stuphallet from the coast. | |
 |  |
| Stone patterns. | |
 | |
| A river to cross. | |
 | |
| The same river crossed. | |
 | |
| Even in the stone desert there are experimental plots. A British soil warming experiment. | |
 | |
| A skua mount. A high point were arctic skuas rest and defaecate, resulting in vegetation. | |
 | |
| Another skua mount with skuas. | |
 | |
| 01:00, the lowest midnight sun. The sun almost hits the horizon. Sleeping geese in front. | |
 | |
| Next day a view from the top of Stuphallet. | |
 | |
| Another view. The cliff Stuphallet harbours puffins and fullmars. The feaces fertilizes the mos vegetation below. | |
 | |
| Continuing my walk. | |
 | |
| Views are spectacular, but also the stone patterns and the canyons. | |
 | |
| Finally, Ny-Ålesund in the view. | |
