11 Abril     :
Finalmente han usado las velas aunque poco debido a la escasa visibilidad. Recorridos 11 km.Han salido del glaciar Sorbreen, han atravesado el glaciar Trinity y mañana dia 12 comenzarán a subir el glaciar Veteranen, de 300 km2.Contentos.
------------------
Donde está la isla de los Osos?
Es la isla más meridional del archipiélago(74º31´N), a mitad de camino entre Spitsbergen y el Cabo Note, fue descubierta por los holandeses Barents y Heenskerk en Junio 1596.A pesar de lo que su nombre pudiera indicar, no es lugar de presencia habitual de osos polares sino que pueden llegar aquí ocasionalmente arrastrados por la banquisa durante el invierno.Recibe este nombre porque ,tras ser descubierta, los holandeses divisaron un oso polar nadando en aguas cercanas y la denominaron BJORNOYA(Isla de los Osos; en noruego, la terminación -oya- significa "isla").
Explotada en siglos pasados por sus minas e carbón,pesca, caza de ballenas, morsas y focas,fue considerada tierra de nadie hasta la firma del Tratado de Svalbard en 1920 (ver blog 4ª Etapa).Abajo vereis una foto de los restos de la estación ballenera de Kvalrussbukta.
178 km2 Largo 20km x 15,5 ancho.
19 km2 son lagos.
NO hay glaciares.
Altura máxima: Monte Misery,536 m (ver foto n.5)
Paisaje de acantilados y barrancos, erosionados por el viento, con formación de cuevas y farallones.
Reserva ornitológica.
Clima mucho más templado que otras zonas de la misma latitud, gracias a las aguas más cálidas del Atlántico Norte.La temperatura media Julio-Agosto es de +4,4º mientras que las más frias se registran en Enero, con -8,1º. Precipitaciones:371mm.
Isla de los Osos ha estado siempre muy poco poblada de forma permanente. Hoy sólo viven 9 personas (dato 2008) que se encargan de estación meteorológica, al sur de la isla, que se ocupa de proporcionar servicios logísticos y de telecomunicaciones.Al principio era sólo la estación de radio, "Bjornoya radio", a la que más tarde se añadió la estación metorológica. También se usa como helipuerto para la Guardia Costera Noruega.
Desde 2002 Isla de los Osos es Reserva Natural, hasta 22 millas naúticas aguas adentro.Solo 1,2 km2 alrededor de la estación no es reserva natural.
CURIOSIDAD.
"Club de los bañistas nudistas" (Bjørnøya nakenbadeforening)Para ser miembro de este club hay que bañarse desnudo en las aguas gélidas de isla de los Osos,en inmersión total (cabeza debajo del agua).Temperatura del agua +4º.Es imprescindible que una persona del sexo opuesto sea testigo del baño. Hoy este club tiene más de 2.000 miembros y entre ellos están Knut Storberget y Kristin Krohn, ministros de Justicia y Defensa respectivamente.Adjuntamos un video como prueba, donde la chica es testigo del baño de los hombres.

Hasta mañana.
Gloria.

Overwhelmed by deep snow and

Overwhelmed by deep snow and harsh temperatures, some countries in Europe closed down schools and struggled to run public transport Monday, as post-snow rains caused a dam to collapse in Bulgaria, flooding a village and killing at least four.Another four people were killed by floods in southern Bulgaria, and 10 people are missing, authorities said.Europeans across the continent were digging out from heavy snow after a week of bitter cold in which the number of dead — most of them homeless — continued to rise by the day. Temperatures have fallen as low as minus Air Jordan Space Jams 33 Fahrenheit (minus 36 Celsius) in Ukraine, the hardest-hit country.The big freeze has caused traffic chaos throughout Europe, blocking roads, shutting down airports, and trapping thousands in remote mountain villages in the Balkans.But it has also offered opportunities for snowy fun: Ice skaters in Jordan 2011 the Netherlands were hopeful they could stage a race that hasn't happened in more than a decade; children in Rome and along the usually temperate Adriatic coast in Croatia frolicked in rare snow; and Bosnians in the capital, Sarajevo, spontaneously Air Jordan 5 organized a winter "Olympics" in Retro Jordan 2011 which they skied down main streets and leapt out of windows into deep snow banks.The Serbian government late on Sunday declared an emergency situation, saying the intense snowfall has jeopardized normal functioning. Emergency officials Cheap Jordans 2011 said that 70,000 people were cut off by the heavy snow."I hope the emergency measures will lead to better functioning of the rescue efforts," said emergency official Goran Nikolic.They included shutting down all primary schools and high schools for a week to save Air Jordan 2011 power and keep children safe. Thrilled, hundreds of kids filled the parks in the capital, Belgrade, sledding and making snow angels.Schools will also be closed in Rome on Tuesday, as Italy copes with unusually heavy snow for the Mediterranean country.
