The Arctic
December 22nd, 2016 , 14:33
So to bed without seeing any other lights. A bit after 7am we got an announcement that we were about to cross the Arctic Circle and the globe marking it would be on starboard. So up and into clothes and out on deck in darkness. There was snow on deck, only a small amount mainly piled by the walls. But still. And we waited watching the rain, until the bridge put out a spotlight and spotlit the globe marking the circle. As the bridge crossed we got a blast of the horn. So in the arctic.
We’ve had lightning, rain, sleet, and snow since crossing the circle. So no lights and probably none the rest of the trip north as it looks like bad weather all the way up! We’ve not got off the ship today – currently sitting in Bodø watching the snow and sleet. So glad we didn’t opt for the nature walk today! Especially as it’s quite dark. Tonight we’re off for a Viking feast! But until then just updating the photos on Flickr and generally resting.
