Svalbard, Northern Norway and Finland
End of May to mid-June 2024, we spend three weeks exploring the North of Europe. For the first part of the trip, we did a cruise with Oceanwide Expeditions starting from Vlissingen in the Netherlands towards Svalbard via Aberdeen, Foula (Shetland Islands), Jan Mayen and the pack ice (11 days), followed by a stay in Longyearbyen (3 days) and Tromsø to Varanger area (7 days). We focused on mammals (33 species) and a bit less on birds (168 species). The trip highlights include Polar Bear, Bowhead Whale, Walrus and Beluga, with 15 cetacean species.

It was not a good one, unfortunately – my phone soon gave up, so I took pictures of the map with the current GPS location of the ship. Ideally, one has a good GPS that tracks all the time, then it would be fairly easy (minus the time changes we did on the ship) to merge this with the pictures, with this method for example https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/geotagging-photos/66

Sounds like a great trip…. That Whalrus somewhat reminds me of my dad when he had a mustache in the 80ties/90ties….
