Jan Mayen
18 August 2023 | Kvalrossbukta, Jan Mayen
Philipp Cottier
After an easy 2-day sail we arrived in Jan Mayen - mysterious rugged black island with a big white volcano (Beerenberg 2277m) and thousands of puffins and other birds. Libellule was only the 5th sailboat in 2023 to arrive here. After meeting the Stationssjef (Jan Mayen is Norvegian territory and needs a special permit), we anchored in Kvalrossbukta and hiked up Kvalrossen.
