O que este vídeo aborda
The crew of the Oyster Marine 37 HERITAGE sails north from Longyearbyen, Svalbard, to explore the archipelago’s wildlife and glaciers during the 24-hour daylight of mid-June.▶ 0:56 Navigating light, fickle winds, they encounter a pod of over 50 beluga whales while anchored in a calm fjord.▶ 3:11 The crew later observes a walrus haul-out, noting the importance of maintaining distance to avoid disturbing the animals and the strong odor that necessitates adjusting their downwind course.▶ 11:22 While transiting the narrow Foreland Sundet, they time their passage to account for tidal currents reaching four knots, relying on the Norwegian pilot guide and GPS charts to navigate a shallow shelf.▶ 16:37 Upon reaching a planned anchorage near a glacier in Crossfjorden, they find the area choked with ice and choose to anchor three miles away in a gravel-bottomed bay to avoid hull damage.▶ 22:19 The crew relies on satellite communications for weather and tracking while operating off-grid in the remote Arctic environment.▶ 1:39
