Svalbard & Jan Mayen Islands Glacier in St. Jonsfjorden, Oscar II Land

St. Jonsfjorden offers great views to huge glaciers and the snow covered surrounding mountains. Especially in the morning the water is often very calm and you can get a soft light for your pictures.

Use a tele-zoom lens and pay attention to some symmetric lines like the break between the water and the ice.

This picture is just possible with a daily excursion by boat or with a multiple day ship cruise. In the internet are many providers for different tours in Svalbard. If you want to travel to this remote region you should book your cruise in advance to make sure that they have enough space and the right cabin for your style of traveling.
