Today was the first time that our feet touched solid ground since leaving Nome, Alaska more than two weeks ago. Stepping on land here in Nordaustlandet, Svalbard (Norway) means that PONANT and Captain Etienne Garcia have successfully completed the FIRST EVER transarctic crossing, making Le Commandant Charcot the first vessel to cross the arctic end to end. As a special bonus, we were rewarded with several nice bears, a lone fat female taking a swim before resting on an iceberg and another female with two cubs. Congratulations Ponant for yet another historic FIRST!
