At 89º N, a day from our goal of reaching the geographic North Pole, we crossed paths with this nuclear powered icebreaker. Impressive, it can turn on a dime. It took 15 seconds for it to disappear.
By the end of the year 2016 I made a small hike to this wonderful place here. And there I was … standing in the icy cold on a small frozen lake in the mountains and waiting for sunrise. I love to stand up in the middle of the night to reach such places, because I think to experience the atmosphere before sunrise is always something very special. I could find this rock here coming out of the ice … and normally this rock would be below the water level. But due to the driest December month since the data recording in our country and the great tensions in the ice this formation could happen. And it was clear that I made a shot as you can see.
Thank you for your time and interest in my photos, your visit is most appreciated.

A bit of a laugh and joke with them while I took the shot, even though the girl on the left has a mask on you can tell she is smiling just like her colleague.

Taking a walk along the canal at Lancaster, the ice was thickening up again despite the sun. It was clear that one barge had managed to get away though, leaving an ice-breaking trail along the canal.
There was a very special guest in our harbour last Friday.
Atle, the icebreaker. 104.6 m long. No, it´s not a joke. What an icebreaker did here in this heat? These vessels (There are four of them.) normally operate in the North. Mostly in the Baltic see. In the summer one of them go South just to show off. Of course I was onboard. It was very impressive.

I recently returned from the Sierra Nevada after spending 2 weeks backpacking, playing golf and living the 395 life with my very good friend Nolan Nitschke. We went on 3 different backpacking trips and seen some absolute beautiful areas. This right here is one of those standout areas where the Minarets dominated the sky over the thawing high country lake.

The first icebreaker Krassin was built for the Imperial Russian Navy as Svyatogor. She had a long, distinguished career in rescue operations, as well as a pathfinder and explorer of the Northern Sea Route. She has been fully restored to operating condition and is now a museum ship in Saint Petersburg.
After the war, the historic icebreaker took an active part in research expeditions in the Polar Ocean and led Soviet cargo convoys through the polar region. Rather than being destroyed (like the Icebreaker Yermak) to make way for more modern ships, the Krassin was preserved and restored. The vessel is now a museum ship in Saint Petersburg, the only icebreaker maritime museum commemorating the Arctic convoys. She has been fully restored to operating condition and there are plans to sail her to various European ports.
An island in the Nordenskiold Archipelago was named after this icebreaker. Postage stamps and a coin have been issued in her honor.

Snoqualmie Falls is a 268 ft (82 m) waterfall on the Snoqualmie River between Snoqualmie and Fall City, Washington, USA.
It was a surprise to see a kayaker out on the lake, given it was frozen to quite a distance out. He seemed to be having a nice time watching the sunset though. Perhaps more ice had formed in the time he'd been out but he had struggle to get back to shore. In the end he had to get out of the kayak into the freezing water to force his way through. I didn't look fun.
Kirkjufell, Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Iceland
Of all the iconic locations in Iceland, Kirkjufell is perhaps the most recognisable. The locals call it Church Mountain, whilst Danish colonialists called it the Sukkertoppen (the Sugartop). It was featured twice in the Game of Thrones television series, where it was known as Arrowhead Mountain, north of the Wall. The distinctive cone shape is an eroded nunataq, the delightful Greenlandic word for a glacial rock island. This photo shows the fell with a foreground of sheet ice as autumn fades to winter.
