August, Emma & James // Sailing in Svalbard
On the Wind Sailing - A podcast by 59º North Sailing Podcasts
Categories:
#368. August & Emma explored the High Arctic lands of Svalbard on ISBJØRN this summer with four crew and our ship's photographer James Austrums. James has been sailing with 59 North since 2017 as friend and photographer, and this was his second time to Svalbard aboard ISBJØRN. During our time in Svalbard, we sailed as high as 80 degrees North and saw incredible ice and wildlife. Freshly inspired after three weeks in the Arctic, we sat down in the main saloon to talk about our experiences. James is a photographer and videographer, spending most of his time in outdoor adventure spaces. He is also a professional arborist and avid climber of many things, from trees to rocks and ice. He has sailed many thousands of miles with 59 North, always documenting the trips expertly.
