High Arctic Landfall | Sailing Florence Ep.216

Seeing the majestic snow capped peaks of Svalbard appear above the horizon as we sailed across the Arctic Ocean was a sweet moment we have been working towards for years. To then arrive straight to the face of a glacier, navigating Florence through the bergy-bits and growlers, and to see the intense blue colour of freshly calved ice was the icing on the cake. For our real time location tracker and extra content, join the crew at www.patreon.com/SailingYachtFlorence We have sailed over 60,000 ocean miles around the world including a complete circumnavigation on our 37ft boat, Florence. After 9 years of experience sailing in the tropics, this series presents a new challenge and a chance to learn new skills as we sail north to the Arctic. Join us as we share the highs, lows, and challenges of travelling around the world by boat, sailing offshore across oceans and exploring remote locations. #sailing #boatlife #boatlifestyle #sailingboat #circumnavigation #sailingyachtflorence #yachtlifestyle #syflorence #sailingaroundtheworld #ArcticSailing #norwaytravel 00:00 – Arctic sailing arrival 03:00 – Midnight Sun Sailing 05:18 – Sailing to a Glacier 16:22 – Sailing to Longyearbyen in Svalbard 28:54 – Arctic Polar Bear Protection 30:42 – Next Time Music in order as played: Epic Adventures - www.hooksounds.com – Licenced Golden Sunrays - www.hooksounds.com – Licenced Crystal Rain - www.hooksounds.com – Licenced Splendor of Nature - www.hooksounds.com – Licenced Colorful Island - www.hooksounds.com – Licenced Whisky Willows - www.hooksounds.com – Licenced
