Buksefjord

I couldn't wait to get ashore and do some hiking.

The land is mainly very barren and rough to walk on with spongy mounds of tundra.

This is the hill behind the anchorage - 287m high.
In many areas there were still snow drifts at the end of June. I assume there would be far fewer by the end of August. 

I used either leather or rubber boots depending on the conditions.
Looking north towards the Buksefjord.

The water really is that colour.
This photo shows the anchorage and alternative to the south. We were to get used to magnificent coastal views like this one.

John and I would normally hike separately and  we carried  handheld radios to call each other for help. I found it necessary to concentrate on remembering the route to avoid getting lost when returning to the boat.
