Day 2 - Smeerenburgfjord At Sea

The early morning commenced very overcast and quite cool as M/S Expedition cruised through the region of Smeerenburgfjord in quest of wildlife. By midmorning the farthest point north of the cruise was reached at Latitude 80 degrees North, Longitude 011° 22’ East at 9:30am - merely 600 miles from the North Pole. We then headed southeast out into the infamous North Atlantic en route to Greenland.
