Dream Head Wrangel Island

During the night we sailed around the northern coast of Wrangel Island and woke up in the morning in beautiful weather just off Dream Head. We planned to drop a group of hikers just after breakfast, but a large number of bears were spotted on the coastline, so we decided to turn back and pick up the rest of the party for a Zodiac cruise. We had a fantastic morning with bears coming very close to our Zodiacs, beautiful backgrounds and light, blue sky and sun! After few hours enjoying the outing it was time to return to the ship.

In the afternoon the captain moved the vessel further west to our next anchorage while we enjoyed hot chocolate on deck. We started a Zodiac cruise at Komsomol where we followed another bear. Once he headed inland across the tundra we landed next to an old trapper’s hut and a nice lake with Long-tailed Ducks and Brent Geese.
