Today, on i of my epic Lord's Day Street View exploration trips across the frozen wastes of the Svalbard archipelago inwards the Arctic Ocean, I came across this Street View of the schooner Noorderlicht.
I couldn't assistance wondering what the schooner was doing sitting H2O ice trapped off the coast of Svalbard. Luckily Noorderlicht has its own website together with I chop-chop discovered that the Noorderlicht hibernates icebound every wintertime inwards Tempelfjorden, Svalbard, which is where it appears to accept been when the Street View sled wandered by.
Next I couldn't assistance wondering where the Noorderlicht is now. So I headed over to MarineTraffic to meet if I could honour its electrical flow place from its onboard AIS. It looks similar the Noorderlicht currently isn't also far away from its habitation port. MarineTraffic reports its final tracked position only off the coast of Longyearbyen, Svalbard.
