Lilliehöökbreen, Spitsbergen. Day 39. 6th August 2013.

From Tinayrebukta we sailed about twenty-six kilometres to the end of the neighbouring (fjord) Lilliehöökfjorden at Lilliehöökbreen.  This is where a massive glacier comes out, twenty-two kilometres long and eight kilometres wide at the end of the fjord.
