We started 2.4 from Longyearbyen by taking a Bw206 (tracked vechile) to Fredheim from where it was just us, our skies and pulks for the next 3 weeks to come. Our route took us onto Newtontoppen(1713) and Perriertoppen (1712), exited the glacier to Austfjorden. Explored a nice ice cave on the way to Pyramiden, Saw a Polar bear with cubs on the ice to Adolfbukta. Enjoyed a long nice downhill trough Gipsdalen, followed the shoreline to Tempelfjorden.From that on it was just skiing the snowmobile track back. 22.4 we found ourselves back in Longyearbyen. In total the expedition skied 350km some more. More info about Guiding at http://www.avotunturit.fi or Expedition leader Jaakko Heikkas webpage http://korpijaakko.com/
