Hammerfest and Akkarfjord

Strong south-westerly winds keeping us in Akkarfjord.

Getting ready for fresh fish.

Renting a small fishing boat from the camp in Akkarfjord.

Seagull with a sea urchin. You can find them afterwards often in the mountains.

Lovely, calm day.

First halibut on the hook. Unfortunately after a heavy figth we lost it.

Afterwards we caugth only some cod.

Heading to other fishing spots. The best places are above underwater hills.

Usually you can get that much fish in one day.

A lovely public grillhut.

We were surprised, how little smoke remained in the hut.

Fresh fish, meat, corn and potatos.

Inside it's very cozy, while outside a storm was blowing.

From time to time we had a look outside for the fascinating...

...northern lights, which are often...

...directly above the town.

With the wind pickung up to 50kn, we had to put out some more lines.

Another windy day in Akkarfjord.

The seagulls on the pontoon don't cares.

Amazing clear water with a lot of life.

After taking the ferry to Hammerfest, we had a walk around the town.

All the time you had to watch out for the domestic reindeers.

Short visit in the Isbjørnklubben museum.

View down to the city.

Almost every where you can spot reindeers. You can also hear them well, because the tendons make clicking noises when they walk. It's belived, that's serving the comunication.

Some of them are very curios...

...and not afraid at all.

Their antlers are growing with up to 2cm a day and can reach 10kg. The males looses their antlers in the fall, the females not until late spring.

And they change their eye coler (summer golden / winter darkblue).
