Once again we used the kayaks to cross Adventfjorden but this time we were targeting Forkastningsfjellet, which we can see from the living room window. 6-7km paddling one way followed up by 400m elevation gain to admire the evening sun was definitely worth the effort. The following day was the hottest day in Svalbard in 40 years. The new record high is +21.7C. Way too hot for arctic dwellers, even the wind was warm!
