On an early morning of June, I rose to a beautiful weather. It has been days since the departure from Bergen. After all the twists and two port visits for supply, we keep sailing eastwards. In another dozens of days, no more human traces were seen among the vast world. Weather observation in the morning reveals dark clouds forecasting rains, and piercing coldness. The fellow travelers beg to stay another day, so they could continue the
trip after the rain settles down a bit. However, the owner said, "No delay is allowed. Even the rain will not stop us."
After another dozens of days, a location for supply is finally seen, and the name is Mangazeya. A silver bear is encountered outside the port, hunting on ice with its claws.
