Landscapes and wildlife from my trip to Svalbard in July 2023, when I spent an active four days on the island, during which I did three day hikes and two boat trips, and bird watching in Longyearbyen.

Purple sandpiper walking on a pebble underground, in rainy but bright weather. The pruple sandpiper is a small wading bird, with long orange legs and a long orange beak. It's belly is mainly white, the back is beige/brown/blak/white speckles.
Atlantic puffin in flight, with the mountains in the background.
Atlantic puffin in flight. It's a bright picture, with a bright blue sky, that has a white cloud creating a diagonal top-left-to-bottom-right line. In the middle of the frame there's the puffin with its wings stretched out, following the same diagonal line as the couds.
Very pointy mountains, on a sunny day. Both the mountains and the sky have a bright light blue/aqua color tone, and there are some patches of snow on the mountains.
Brown triangular mountain with diagonal lines running through it.
Little auk in flight, with a gray mountain in the background. The little auk is a small black and white seabird, with a rounded tail and pointy oval body shape. The face, back, and wings are black, there's a white dot above the head, a white stripe on the bottom of the wing, and a few white lines where the wing meets the body. This little auk is in the center of the frame, and seems very focused on his flight.
Two little auks sitting on a lichen-covered rock on the side of a mountain, with a green and gray valley out of focus in the background. The little auk on the left is facing away from the camera and stretching its wings, showing the black backside with white line under each wing. The one on the right is facing the camera, showing off the black head with white dot above the eye.
Arctic tern, white seabird with a long sharp red beak, flying right to left with a fish in his beak, with an orange colored valley in the abckground.
Two arctic terns in flight, in the middle of the frame, with green blurry mountains in the background. One of the terns is holding a fish in its beak. They are small white seabirds, lookig a bit like small gulls, but with a long sharp bright red beak, and a black top of the head.
