We tied up to the wharf in view of the seed vault and joining us were three adult common eider ducks (\u00e6rfugl) and their 21 ducklings, together with two adult barnacle geese (Hvitkinng\u00e5s in Norwegian \u2013 \u2018white cheek goose\u2019). I had initially thought that the eider ducks were pink-footed geese, until Stormer corrected me. He told me a story about an \u00e6rfugl he found on the aft of the Kronprins H\u00e5kon. On a cold, stormy November day while on the way to Greenland, Stormer moved a stack of pallets to prepare for coring, and there standing before him was a duck. The duck was standing so still, the first thought that came to mind was \u201cwho brings a wooden duck onboard?\u201d He took a step forward to take a closer look, to find that the duck was in fact a real duck. An \u00e6rfugl. The crew kept her warm and fed, and released her back into the wild in Troms\u00f8.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"756\" height=\"567\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6372\" src=\"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/cage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wildlife.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/cage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/492\/2021\/07\/wildlife.jpg 756w, https:\/\/site.uit.no\/cage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/492\/2021\/07\/wildlife-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Two barnacle geese, three common eider ducks and their 21 ducklings<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It was a quick turnaround, and we left Longyearbyen at 15:00 after our new crew member joined the ship. The plan is to deploy the seismic at 03:00 on our return back to site, however plans can quickly change and the order of activities is dependent on the weather forecast. We left behind bright skies in Longyearbyen, with a striking display of cirrus and cirrocumulus clouds. After eating match-worthy food \u2013 chili and nachos, and watching the intense euros finals game, we wait three more hours and hope that the waves will calm for the seismic deployment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"756\" height=\"567\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6373 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/cage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/prins-karls-forland.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/cage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/492\/2021\/07\/prins-karls-forland.jpg 756w, https:\/\/site.uit.no\/cage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/492\/2021\/07\/prins-karls-forland-300x225.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 756px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 756\/567;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Prins Karls Forland in the distance with magnificent cloud formations \u2013 originally named Prince Charles\u2019 Foreland after King James\u2019 son in 1612.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Read more about the SEAMSTRESS project <a href=\"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/seamstress\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cruise Blog by Frances Cooke: Day 5 July 11th, 2021 Text and photo: Frances Cooke &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/cage\/2021\/07\/11\/quick-stop-in-longyearbyen\/\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> \u00abA quick stop in Longyearbyen\u00bb<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":123546,"featured_media":6372,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[120,137],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cruise-blog","category-seamstress-cruise-2021"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
