Moskusdalen: Amazing canyon on Svalbard

[Polar Bear]

Here a nice video, https://youtu.be/VExOXJfI58w,of my kayaktrip inside the Moskusdalcanyon,a sidevalley in Sassendalen on Svalbard.

On the picture you see the top of the Moskusdal canyon. The river is streaming about 10 meters lower. When inside this canyon it feels almost like being in a cave, under the ground.

This was my third summer visit to this canyon. The first time was during mid summer in July. The water level is then to high to get inside this canyon with a kayak, it would be my last kayak trip…….. So I got back the next year at the end of September to walk into this canyon (low water). Then I saw the pools inside this canyon and I knew that I had to come back next year with my kayak.

Lucky for me there was blue sky on the day I went into this canyon, so just enough light to make video´s. I spent 3 hours in this canyon with the kayak, for me the most amazing 3 hours of this year.
