5 June 2013, in the Adventdalen valley on Spitsbergen. After seeing the phalaropes and snow buntings, we went back up the dirt road, to the lake on the other side of the main road. Common eider and king eider ducks were present.
Two reindeer were there as well.
We went further east into the valley, to a marshy tundra area not far away from dog cages.
There, we saw a really spectacular rare bird. It will be in the next Svalbard blog post.
